ok, so i'm trying to swap the peugeot for the NV3550
the existing bushing and pilot brg have to come out and new put in. the 3550 shaft is larger than the peugeot.
here's the prob.............
the input shaft mic's .750
AA sent me a bushing measuring .670- not even close. i will call them tomorrow.
OK, so not only did AA not send the right size bushing but didn't include a pilot bearing either. but the invoice reads ".750 pilot tip"
the bushing came with a red tag which reads:
"the pilot bushing is made of an ollite bronze material which DOES NOT require any type of grease or oil. if grease or oil is applied, this material will bond the input shaft to the bearing causing internal damage."
QUESTION:
say they had sent the bushing with a .750 hole which leaves no room for a pilot BEARING. can the input shaft ride on just a bushing and no bearing?
sorry if this isn't clear but i am learning a few things here- i am a layman to this stuff.
thanks
steve
EDIT
my bad- i miss-read the OILITE word. looked it up on google and found some links- guess this bushing doesn't need a bearing. it is self lubricating. so if i take it to a machine shop and have it machined out to the correct .750 i wonder if that will take away any of it's oiling properties i wouldn't think so but what the hell do i know :)
