<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>First get your bushing cloth ripped =
to the right
width. If it keeps breaking when you pull it through or it's too easy to =
pull,
these are your indicators. Trim the cloth to a long point and I use my =
needle
nose pliers to grab the cloth the roll them against the flange to pull =
very
evenly. Only a small amount comes through with each roll of the pliers. =
Feed it
through the other side of the flange and keep pulling through until you =
have
enough cloth to grab it with your hand and pull it all the way to almost =
the
end. A SMALL dab of glue and pull the cloth on in cut it off long and =
jam a #20
pin in and let dry. Use a tack like the ones used to hang the damp =
chaser
rod, it's .050" or a #20 and the sharp tip makes it easy to slide in. =
When the
glue dries, trim the excess felt off and assemble the flange with the =
right pin
and size the bushing to the pin with 30% water/ alcohol. When it =
dries
it's the right fit. Don't force dry it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>If you need them to work now. Ream a =
size smaller
than the pin you are using, put the pin in and heat the tip with a =
lighter, 7
count. Work the flange, Burnishes it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Got a question regarding rebushing =
action centers
- I have done only very little of this. Is it best to install the =
cloth and
then ream and pin, or is it a good thing to install the cloth and =
insert a pin
at the same time to size the bushing? Seems like I need to stipulate a =
whole
bunch more particulars, but that is the essential =
question.</FONT></DIV>
