How To Replace your Lower Column Bearing: Better and Cheaper!!!

I have my steering column out to install a Flaming river coupler, Manual steer , floor shift car

The tube dimension is 52 mm ( 2 inches) and the shaft is 3/4 inch.

Do you think I will need to sleeve the steering shaft to fit in the 1 inch bearing ( er-16)?

The original pictures in this post seem to show a smaller than 1 inch shaft, with the set screws centering it ??

Thoughts?
