You could find a sealed bearing that fits the pin, then find a small chunk
of pipe for a bearing carrier. Drill the appropriate size hole in the clutch
arm, weld in the pipe chunk,  and press the bearing in.

I saw a post of yours in archives musing over the thought of using a
bearing in that hole. That would totally rock. I imagine there's not
enough metal there to install a roller type bearing. Obviously Bronze
would be easier to install. Didn't know it was self lubing. Such a
PITA part to get to and repair. I wonder how long the Bronze bushing
would last? Still, I like your idea. Wish I had a lathe. But maybe a
drill press and some filing would do to make the Bronze part.

Great idea. I think that would be useful. Time intensive to create I bet.

Neil.
