The spindle bushings did not come off for the machinist after he welded a bead around their circumference. So he built the bead up a little more, and put the assembly into a Clam vise, and then used a press to get them off.
I was worried about how the journals underneath the bushings would look, both because I couldn't remember them before the bushing install, and wondered if the putting on and taking off of the bushing scored them up. But they look great.
The shop only charged $20!
