Hi,

I just searched the archives on how to replace the steering bushings and bearings on my 8n and one posting suggested that I use a bushing driver, which I assume is better than using a punch and socket or other makeshift device.

Anyhow the posting suggested that I could find it at Harbour Freight. I searched their website and found no such tool. Does anyone have any idea where I could find it? Is this something that I could find at the local Farm & Fleet here in WI? Most postings noted that it cost between $10-$12.

Thanks.
Paul

I bought mine from JC Whitney about 15 years ago. Looks just like the HF one in the previous post.

I just replaced my kingpin bushing last week. I removed the old one the hard way. The original brass bushing had been replaced with a steel bushing. So, the bushing was rusted to the axle. I used a cold chisel to "role" the edge of the bushing in toward the center of the hole. I worked my way around the edge. Eventually, the rust let loose and I was able to drive the bushing out little by little using the cold chisel. If you have brass instead of steel, you may have better luck with a socket, etc.

You can get bushing drivers at Harbor Freight - I did. I just started a full rebuild on my NAA steering box, and could not figure how to remove the bearing race on the bottom of the steering tube. I finally figured out a good solution - I bought a 2 ft. long piece of rebar from my local hardware store, bent the last 6" or so a bit on one end, and stuck the slightly bent end into the tube from the top to get it to catch on the inside edge of the race. I then used a hammer to pound the race out moving the rebar around the edge and hitting it in several different places. This "tool" cost me all of $.79 to get. Use a brass drift when putting the new races in.

Good luck,
Dan

I just replaced the race in the bottom of my steering tube as well. i tried the bar and hamemr idea to driv ethe race out but had no luck. What we eventually did was welded a bead around the face of the race. Then just tapped the casting on the table and the race fell right out.

Thanks for the info. I probably mis-spoke. I meant the kingpin bushings, not the gearbox, but I may need to work on that too.

Thanks again.

OHHHH, ok. When I replaced the kingpin bushing in my 52 8N, my Father-in Law had to run a few beads of weld down the inside, then he heated it up to red hot with a torch and we pounded it out with a tight fitting socket and a large 3 lb. one handed sledge.I will say, it took quite a few heat cycles before it finally came out, no way could I have done that out of my garage.

Good luck,
Dan
