Default replacing tailwheel fork swivel bush

The bush into which my swivel post fits has become pretty worn and the post is too loose. I have got a replacement bush. So I have to cut out the old bush and press in the replacement, then bore it out (from memory this is from 3/4" id to 7/8" id).

Has anyone else here done this, searching the posts comes up with nothing.

Cheers

I think I can help with this. Give me a call. I'll PM you my home phone since the office is closed for the holiday.

Default keep us posted

I'd be interested to hear the results of this. My tailwheel fork is just starting to get a small amount of play.
