The bushing that the shaft goes thru on my Lymon case trimmer is wore out. Has anybody ever replaced the bushing. I checked with lymon to see if they have replacement parts and they don't have any.
Any suggestions?

Found the solution I think. Got a new one ordered from internet

Mine is getting a little rattly, too. I replaced the steel cutter with a carbide cutter and the crank shaft with a power trimming shaft. They seem to equalize the side forces (that the crank generated) on the bushing and shorten the cutting time. So the cutter now "floats" in the bushing and cuts straight around the case mouth.

Could you give a link to who on the Internet offers replacement bushings?
