Francois :
I don't doubt that works fine. But, the new bushings will slip easily over
a new shaft. Apparently Joe Curto's setup crushes the bushing a little as
it's pressed into place, which means reaming is required. If you bore to
25/64 (or drill to 3/8" with a drill that cuts a bit oversize, as mine
does), and align properly, reaming is not required. However, the bushes
won't necessarily be snug in the housing, so a little Loctite may be a
necessity.
If you have the tools, Joe's method is probably superior. But the method
that FT, I and others have outlined _will_ work.
