Changing out fan bushings
I have my own ideas on this, but I'll bet our members have some good tips ! 1916-20 (?) cast iron hub. Thanks, fellows !

Rich, we used to take out poilet bushings this way. If the hole is a blind hole, run a pipe thread tap in the bushing. I am guessing that would be about 3/8 NPT. Thread in a grease zerk and hook up your grease gun.
Hope that helps, just remember it's only one way to make naked cats.

Re: Changing out fan bushings
If you screw a tap into the bushing, just use a long punch or a rod against the end of the tap and knock the bushing out from the opposite direction.
Same for spindle bushings.
