Cowboycorn, I know what you're talking about. You want them pretty straight to begin with. Years ago a bought a kit that had a tool for setting bigger replacement bushings. Make a long story short, and a different planter, I ordered the RK replacements and used the old tool to set them. It was for a 7000 series but the principle would work on others. Basically it was t shaped with a pipe for the short piece that goes across. I found a couple of old bearings that fit the bearing holders and put a bolt through the whole works. I then lined up the long end with the middle of the tail end and then tightened the bolt. That way I knew the bearings were lined up with each other and were perpendicular to the end. Clear as mud right? If you like I can post some pictures tomorrow of the tool I used.
