Before you swap out your 1200s worn out steering column bushing do yourself a favor. Go to harbor freight and find item 97345, antenna nut wrench. It has an EXACT perfect fit wrench on the end to get the 50 year old bushing sleeve out. Don't forget to undo the two divets made in the slots to hold it in BEFORE you try unscrewing the bushing. Also mark or take a measurement of how far the old bushing sleeve sticks out before removal, then screw the new one in that same depth.

thanks for the tips, been meaning to do this for ages!
