Bottom bush/bearing on an early steering column

Recommended Posts

I have an early 70's steering column with a worn top bearing and a very sloppy bottom one.

The top is not a problem - apart from the price. The bottom bearing is supposed to not be replaceable without the column but I've just found a bottom bearing for £12 ... any idea whether it's a waste of money or is it actually fittable?

Another column I've got is a bit too corroded to positively tell but it looks to me as if the bearing is pressed into the end of the column tube and the flange formed to secure the bearing ... In that case it'd be a case of removing the flange, replacing the bearing and putting a machined sleeve retainer on to hold it ...

Ideas anyone?
