let your CSR do it! once installed they really should be reamed or in some way bored to ensure they are in alignment.

That is an important job I love to hate... We have a couple old crush tubes we use as helpers.
I use one and mallet to tap the old ones out. Still working on the "best" way to put them in. But one thing Steve Fenske showed me is to put a bolt through an old tube and use an impact wrench and valve grinding compound to to the "reaming" Steve Kramer refers to. Have extra bushings, they are cheap. (<$5), if you suspect you damage one putting it in, don't hesitate to toss and try again.... Suspect this is one of those areas where people aren't real eager to share their secrets, especially those that get paid to do it. Dave Harriman

One other Fenskeism: make sure the tube in the rocker is still truly round...
