<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's a question for you who rebuild =

parts:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've rebushed flanges before, you =
know, one here
or there, but have never done a whole set.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any secrets besides just =
plain old
rebushing? For example, do you shrink the bushings after you've =
put them
in?</FONT></DIV>
