Default Oilite bushes

To lube your "oilite" bronze bush (or sintered bronze) place the bush on the end of your thumb. fill it with engine oil. now put your fore finger on top and squeeze. The oil will ooze through the sides of the bush. now let it drain, and then install.
Phospher bronze and more particularly ally bronze is bloody hard stuff, and will need constant lubing or it will seize and tear chunks out of your steel shaft. Not suitable for this application.
