Thanks mate! Max hated every second of that photo 'shoot'!
Yeah, old stuff but trying to keep relevant topics together. Based on what you sent me and what you’ve done and what I’ve observed with my rig, I’m of the opinion that the old stock (steel) top bushing is suppose to press on, that keeps it from spinning. It gets removed in a press once you have the shaft out. (And good luck with that, as you know, mines is still a stuck pig.) And that’s why your top bushing is stuck as well as mine. They’re pressed on.
Side alert: Nobel peace prize to whoever invents a center arm shaft puller that fits and works. Double prize if if it also works on spring hanger pins
The bottom bushing needs to come off easily because of disassembly, but it also needs to not spin. Hence the woodruff keys. I think the fact that the upper brass bushing in the non-OEM kits slides on is problematic because it can spin on the shaft. How problematic? Who the fugawee knows.

I truly don’t see why it would matter in a low mileage/use vehicle why it would matter if the bushing moves.
I’ve pondered it often and can’t see why it would matter.

The Goat Tail made its maiden voyage today to my local sheet metal shop for a panel for the front of the tub.
It towed excellent.

It’s the back 1/2 of the local truck I found that I moved the hood and fenders to the Goat.
