GOT IT!!! Gene & Scotty, Thanks for your help. Sometimes it just takes a couple others to reinforce what we really already know.....it WILL!! go. This shaft being crooked makes the installation really awkward. Scotty, I had already miked bushings and shaft to reassure the fit....real close, but should go if perfectly aligned. Now that it's done I think there are two keys: 1)After old bushings are pressed out & new ones pressed in, while axel is still in press, then press polished shaft into and through both bushings. Then press shaft back out. I think this is necessary step to get the two bushings in perfect alignment with each other. 2)Place shaft into freezer so it will reduce in size as much as possible. Set up axel into lower steering housing using floor jack, engine hoist, whatever. Then get FROZEN shaft and start it into bushings by hand as far as possible. Then using a 2 ft 4x4 whack real hard. If you're lucky it may go in 1/4 inch or so. Then whack some more till it's snug.....MILLER TIME!!! Thanks again men, for your help. John
