Re: Tips When Pressing new Bushing

Are you writing about the rubber hub with the bronze drive bushing? What size prop? Do you have a good sized press? Is it a new hub?

It is basically an easy job with say a 6 ton press. I use silicone RTV as a lubricant and just press it in. When the silicone hardens, it gives a little more security to the assembly.
