Installing oilite bushings
« on: November 01, 2013, 07:49:59 AM »
I have a pair of oilite bushings to install, how big of a hole should I make.

The OD is 24mm, I was thinking making - on a lathe -  something like 23.95mm hole, certainly hard to chase 1/100mm on my old Logan.

What do you think?

And does it need grease, such as grease from grease gun delivery passage?
