I'll try to dig in and figure out what I did there in the next day or two for you.
I don't remember it being rocket surgery and think I bought all the parts at McMaster Carr and maybe just machined the tops of the bushings to make them a little smaller.
At any rate this is an easy job and well within your skill set, if I need to I'll get the parts ordered machine them and send them to you.
I just won the lottery! Cheers!
I tell you what i am always amazed with this group of people.
Thank you

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
And a Snorkel 
Got those parts on the way. Thanks!
I couldnt find the part number for the snorkel though.
I am probably going to be asking some questions on this project. I did it a long time ago using SOR's plastic bushings and the original pins. Was tough to get them out and then I realized that there was a particular direction they came out and there was some, how do you call it, splines on one end.
When the parts come I'll be a cry'n out.
Should be good for those who know as little as myself.

Yes, IIRC the shafts are splined on one end. I think I took pics when I rebuilt mine. I will see if I can find them...
Get one of these coming too.
Trying to do this from my phone but the link should be for an Adjustable Hand Reamer Square End Blade Reamer Adjustment Range 7.75mm - 8.5mm

Darn, I thought that was a link to the snorkel.
The guy from Alabama doesn't rebuild them anymore, as far as I know. He was the only one that sourced the new springs. I used new Forty bushings and the Napa pins, I think.

Ron, just got a set back from him a couple weeks ago for new pig, so he is alive and well-anybody need his contact info, pm me
OK, that's good he's still involved.
Was that Migcanic, or something like that?
Got that tool on the way as well. What the heck is that thing? I guess I'll find out! It's all these cool special tools that make the job!!
all I say is YOUTUBE.

Something like that. If you're talking about J Mack's reamer, it will ream (drill) out the bushings to the correct size of the pin. They do a better job than just a drill bit.
You bought a 11mm drill bit and you are going to press an 11.05mm OD bushing into that drilled hole, the bushing will start with an 8mm hole plus a little.
With the press on the bushing plus any misalignment you won’t be able to slide your 8mm pins through both bushings, “that thing” is and adjustable hand reamer that you will pass through both bushings after you press them in to slightly increase their size and align the bores so the new pin will rotate freely.
Abom79, I try to learn from him.
Was just watching that video- shop talk and I like the Tubalcain videos. never counter clockwise
Thanks
Thanks

Does the bushing shoulder go inside out, or inside in? Is the bushing in the outer or does it get pressed into the inner part of the hinge. Does that make sense?
