PERMCO 257 BUSHING INSERTION KIT

Seating bushings without the right tooling is one of those things that looks fine until it isn't. When you improvise with a drift or press them freehand, you risk cocking the bushing slightly off-axis or deforming the bore just enough to throw off your internal clearances. On a gear pump like the 257, those clearances matter a lot for how the pump holds pressure and moves fluid consistently over time. The T-1175 kit gives you tooling that's matched to the 257 series specifically, so the bushing goes in square, seated properly, every time. It's the kind of thing that pays off during the next service interval when the pump's still running like it should.

This kit is made specifically for the Permco 257 series of gear pumps and motors, ensuring proper bushing installation during assembly or rebuilds.
