[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 541379, member: 956"] Ok, I measured the sleeve GPS made for me: ID = 48.05 mm OD - 51.05 mm Wall thickness = 1.55 mm Haulin', I was thinking, that for simplicity, if the sleeve was long enough to extend past the inner tube top, when the inner is fully inserted into the outer, the sleeve could be hit with rubber or brass mallet to directly drive the middle bushing into place. If the sleeve had a 'cap' then the cap would take the abuse of the hit and not distort the sleeve. I'm not sure what would be easier to machine, a longer sleeve with PVC cap (or whatever) or your idea of an 8" sleeve with heavy metal ring, kind of like a non-sliding slide hammer. I will say that it doesn't take much force to seat the bushing, especially if the outer tube is pre-heated to expand. Whatcha think HA? You're more of mekanic than I am.. :) I'll cut and paste this as PM to Just Roy to see if he's still interested. [/QUOTE]
