Can I use the old upper shaft (with the collar at the top-end) to be the "Pusher"??? Of put a washer on the top end of the old shaft to provide more bushing surface to press the new bushing in.
Your collective wisdom's would be appreciated ... and any photo's drawings also would be helpful....Thank you

Very simple: You need the following: A 5/16” bolt or threaded rod that is long enough to pass through two bushings and the distributor bore, two washers and nuts. Put a washer and bushing on one end and pass it through the distributor and put a washer and nut on. Make sure distributor bore is clean, oil bushing (do one at a time) slowly tighten nut. Make sure bushing is in straight aliment with bore as you tighten nut. Repeat the process for the second bushing. The last step is to ream the bushing. A distributor reamer can be purchased from Bratton’s or Snyder’s.
