I just located an new sleeve bearing for the rear bearing retainer from the Filling Station. It’s measurements are 1.565" OD X 1.445" ID X .083" THICK X .885" wide. In the description It stated “ If the clearance exceeds .010", the bushing should be replaced.” My yoke which rides on this bearing measures 1.435” which puts me at the maximum clearance. I suspect after its pressed in, the ID will close up a bit tightening the clearance.

My yoke does show a bit of wear, so now I wondering if the yoke is worn more than I think.

Does anyone know what this clearance should be, or have a known good yoke readily available to measure, so I at least have a measurement to compare mine too?
