Steering Column Bearing Replacement HELP

No, no plastic I just cross drilled the column tube and used two short 1/4"-20 x 3/8" long bolts opposing each other to hold the aluminum bushing in the tube....

The ID of the bushing holds the inner tube in place. The new bearing presses into the bushing... That ID is critical for the press fit. I'll try to remember to throw up some pictures of the installed column tonight when I get home.

I always get into such a groove when working on things that I never remember to take a minute and snap pics as I go...
