    Look for a muffler shop that does custom pipe work. They'll have a mandrel that they use to expand pipes. Just take the bearings with you, and ask them to be very gentle.

    I think I'd rather have the ID opened up. I'm afraid to hurt the bling. :D

    You might try googling AAA postal jeeps. There used to be a vendor in the south that specialized in postal parts. For my column, I used bearings from Jeepdoc. In the end, I was unhappy with the column (steering wheel came off while on the trail :shock:), so I replaced it with a XJ column.
