I am rebuilding my steering on a JD2030. The steering control valve is at the dealer geting new seals, etc. right now. Unfortunately when I took out the steering shaft to replace an oil seal I nicked one of the bushings in the clutch housing. I have a replacement bushing (2" ID, 2.125" OD that has a single split, material is like a engine bearing). What is the best way to drive in this bushing without either distoring it or trashing it? Most bushing drive sets that I find are only up to 1-3/8"... too small. I can get a 1.965" front wheel bearing race tool, but it is for a tappered race not a square bushing. Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I need to get this back together soon.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you need more tools- just tell the better half that you can buy a 3/4 inch socket set cheaper than a complete bearing driver set. One of those sockets should be about right. Also works better with a hydraulic press than a BFH, assuming you have room in the shop for the press..... .or can add on!

If you have access to both sides of the hole, use two 1/4" plates slightly larger than the od of the bushing. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center of each plate, start the bushing in and draw it in with a plate on each side using a full thread 3/8" bolt. If it gets off square, tap the high side a bit. If possibe, it's always better to pull or push than hammer on a bushing/bearing.
There's always something around the shop that can be used, like large washers, pieces of flat metal, pipes, tubing, sockets, etc. If there is access to one side only, a small machinist' jack or small car jack might work.

I finished this last weekend and ended up following your advice. I ended up getting the wheel bearing race / oil seal tool and using it to make a press. I have access to both sides so I used a long bolt and 2 of the bearing mandrels (one oversized for the opposite end and the other to guide the bushing). Once I got it square to the bore it when in pretty easily. Got it all back together and it works great and I am back in the field. Thanks for the suggestions.
