Take and hone out the bore a little with a brake hone to remove any junk or rust that might br it it, then scotch brite the shaft and wipe it all down put a little grease on it and all should be good.

Shel;

The shaft should measure 3/4" (.075") exactly. I once had a guy make one for me. It was so "out of round" that it is now used as a drift punch:mad:

If yours is factory stock it should slide in with very little pressure.

Shel,

I was going to say that that's exactly what I did. It was a pretty tight fit but I managed to persuade it to go in. The pedal is an easy fit. The bushing on mine was shot and I had to have someone make a new one for me. Cost an arm and a leg.

Freeze the shaft and then install it. I did one last week in a 47 Chrysler.

freeze the shaft but at the same time heat the hole. you will be surprised at how easily it will slip in by hand. once the temperature adjusts the two will lock.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I am not sure you would want them to lock..on my car I found that the pin will slip into both units equally and no binding and yet no slop either..
