I guess that I was not very clear. The seal in the Okie bushing goes over the prop shaft very snugly and seems good but then the bushing gets hung up when it s about 2 inches into the torque tube. It seems like there is a score on the inside of the tube where the original bushing was. Maybe it spun. ???? The threaded looking part of the Okie seems to hang up there.

I was able to get a 1 1/2" pipe in the tube and it went nn a good 8 inches or so. I don't think that the second, original, bushing is in the way.
