Although rebushing and repinning is a good alternative, I have found that in
addition to the bushings and pins needing to be replaced, the knuckles are
also worn out. By the time you add up the time to replace those to the time it
takes to rebush and repin, it might be cheaper, and a lot less work, to
replace the shanks and flanges with new ones.
