Pins/bushings time. What's your proven method on those bushings?

Simple way is to turn a bar to fit nicely inside the bore with a ledge approx the od of bushing hit with sledge hammer drive bushings out use bar to drive new bushings in

Slightly more complicated buy a 20 ton hollow cylinder they are cheap at temco ebay amazon whip up some pulling plates and threaded rod to fit bushing nicely and pull them out reverse operation to pull them in

You can calculate the shrinkage from freezing in your machinery handbook you will see that a bushing that small od will not fall in like a 4 inch one every bit helps though even the deep freeze They wont fight that bad its pretty simple stuff

You may find the tilt cylinders have no bushings from the factory and need to be bored to accept them when i did the 279 I added seals also on the front end

My idea was similar. Have a bar turned (or a really heavy washer) that's slightly smaller than the OD and fits inside the ID but have it either hollow to allow a threaded rod or weld a threaded rod to it. On the other side have pipe or even a bunch of washers that are bigger than the OD of the bushings. Then you can tighten the threaded rod to pull the bushing out. If it doesn't move you can pound on the one side. Being bolted will hold everything in place. Tighten it up and pound, then tighten it and pound until it's out.
