Ed, what brand of inserts did you buy? I have seen 2 different styles. One with a reduced 'pilot' on one end like yours or what looks a dog bone style with full diameter knurled ends on both sides. Have you tried any of those? I can see where the 'piloted' style would be easier to install, but I wonder if the dog bone type would be any more solidly held in place?
Bear in mind I am only thinking about replacing inserts that have been broken out vs. installing them fresh in a new housing. My only use would be for making repairs.
Your thoughts?
