All,

I have disassembled my 13B FD engine and found a bushing in the front housing (iron) that is badly worn.  It appears that it was oil-starved at some point.  It is shown in the ’93 and ’94 shop manuals between the thrust washer and front stationary gear.  The bushing, however is not identified in either manual.  Can anyone tell me:

1.       Is the bushing replaceable?

2.       What is it called (so I can buy the correct part)

3.       Where can I buy it?

4.       How is it removed/installed (Press?  Which direction?)

Thanks for any advise.
