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

I'm in the process of a column rebuild on my 67 and my nylon bushing was pretty broken up and the bearing was just about totally disintegrated. I cut my bushing down to 1/2" wide and slid it over the shift tube then up inside the column jacket.
