The other day I had to make a quick fix on a flange bushing. The bushing on 
had come out on one side and I didn't have extra flanges in my tool kit. So I 
tired something, and it worked. 

I pushed a center pin through the bushing still in place, and made sure it 
was centered in the empty hole. I then put a drop of medium SA glue in the 
hole around the pin, and shot it. After it hardened, I held on to the center 
pin with a needle nose, and turned the flange. It worked. The resistance was 
a little more than normal, but after I put the flange back on the butt, it 
was loose enough to give me about 3 and half swings. 

It's certainly not something you want to do all the time, but in a pinch, it 
might save a return trip.
