Bushing Press Tool (Size) for Radius Arm Frame Mount?

[Nay]

The shop I use to press bushings doesn't have one for the frame mount of the front radius arms. When I bought my new axle end bushings for the caster plates I also got new frame ends - is there a tool or socket size that works for this?

Thanks!

I made one. Get an 1-1/4 black MI coupling and an 1-1/4 plug for it from a plumbing shop. Then I rolled the edge on my bench grinder until I took off about 1/16th. It was a perfect fit. Put the plug in one end and walla, perfect press tool for the frame side.

I'll get you a pic of it.

Cost a couple dollars and about 20 minutes to grind it down to the right size.

I used a socket. I don't remember which one, and I doubt all socket brands have the same outside diameter anyway.

Want to mail it to me for $20 and I'll send it back when done?
