Greetings all; Up until late this afternoon I'd not had the ability to measure the OD of the bronze bushings carrying the counter shaft's, either one, in the spindle drive.
So today I tried to pull them, but did not get very far with the first attempt. Seemed to have come up solid against the puller with perhaps 10 thou pushed out. So I retrieved a foot of 1/2" redi-thread from TSC, and bored the cup to receive the bushing as exited by another .75mm's. Pushed easier for about 1/4" but got tight again. Found the bushing was jammed in the puller cup tight enough that an 18" crescent wrench could turn it all. Couldn't knock the cup loose with a 2 lb hammer. Reassembled the puller bits to push the cup off. About 3/8" of bushing sticking out, and I'll have to bore it another mm at least. TLM bores a tapered hole, much smaller closer to the spindle. To put the cap on the excedrin container tight enough to prevent access, the needle cartridge is 1.125" for OD. The &^$*& bushing is 1.1875", or 1 and 3/16ths. Is it possible to find a .875" ID, .750" long, 1.1875" OD needle cartridge, or am I stuck looking for some 1/32" thick shim material? I wasn't kidding when I said the only luck I have is bad. Anybody have a link to a Koyo catalog that actually gets me a catalog in pdf? In Engrish even? Thanks all.
