I've tried to push out the sleeve from the black LCA but I just can't get enough of a grab on the sleeve versus the arm itself so I worry I'll really destroy the arm which is why I thought maybe the after market bushing is the way to go. We're talking a 1/16 inch difference. I could always make some cuts on the sleeve and then beat it out but that doesn't seem right. Lastly I was going to trim the after market bushing so the lip didn't show. We'll see. Are we having fun yet? That's a joke of course. Thanks Bob for hanging in there with me through my struggles. Maybe if nothing else I'll confirm as you all have said repeatedly, rebuilding vs modifying good repros is not the easy to go.
