Is there a way to re-impregnate bronze bushings. The game I bought had four bushings riding on shafts. The entire mechanisms was covered in grease. Dissasembled and degreased and cleaned everything. Discovered later that these bronze bushings were not to be greased and that would destroy them. Is there a way to re-oil them? I am putting a huge order together and they have two only in stock.
Not sure what ones you need, but you can check BDI in Canada. I buy from BDI and Motion Industries. If you go on Isostatic website, they list all their distributors, including some in Canada like The BDI branches.

Thanks. I will look into it. I found them.on ebay and they are over double what that Marco guy sells them for. Its a "F19" size bearing.
