1. Buy the pivot stud for $15 and install into the hole left by the old removed stud and use a washer and nut to secure it to bracket.
2. Go to Ace hardware and buy a rubber washer or O-ring that works.
The rubber washer or O-ring is not super critical. It just holds in the grease when you grease the bell crank tube. The stud sold by Classic Trucks says it is for threading into the V8 block. I am speculating that the 6 cyl bracket places the new stud in the same place. This needs confirmed.
Pressing in or swaging is beyond the DIY ability. I don't see that type pivot stud offered anyway. The new design accomplishes the same seal but won't wear the rubber as much.
