What's the ID, OD, and length of the bearing, ID of housing, and OD of pinion?

That pinion support bearing is supposedly totally obsolete. Period. Like no NOS, nobody makes a revised one, nothing.
There are a few options to correct this. Make a bronze bushing (like an input shaft pilot bearing) and install it where the roller bearing was. You can also bore the housing for the more common bearing.
Have people done the bronze bushing method, and how long has it lasted? Intuitively, it sounds like a poor solution for wear and axial tolerance if a roller bushing was spec'd for that application.
Dumb question.
Its a 14 bolt.
Would a 3rd option not be to separate the axle tubes from the center and replace just the center with a "normal" bearing sized center (from the other axle) and maintain most of the link mount...Im a dumb electrician - Im sure it wont work - Im just asking.
If it were that easy, half the TJs would have a D44 center section with D30/35 tubes and outers...Dumb question.

I told you up front I was a idjit and just asking.If it were that easy, half the TJs would have a D44 center section with D30/35 tubes and outers...
What’s the longevity of the brass bushing?

I'm just giving you a hard time because it's Friday and I feel like it. Also you didn't understand the irony of my post. A TJ D44 is basically a D30 with a D44 center section.I told you up front I was a idjit and just asking.
Now I know.
Done this before...not this application though.@Jody Treadway I found something that says the bearing ID is 1.235", OD 1.625" (1-5/8") and length 3/4". Buy this bearing from McMaster McMaster-Carr or something equivalent, and press on a 1.233-1.234" ID, 1.374-1.375" OD sleeve. Ideally, make the sleeve OD oversize and turn it down in place. That gives you a 0.070" wall thickness, which isn't terrible.
My upstairs toilet is sleek and modern and weighs 120 pounds, so that would be nice to have for my upcoming flooring and plumbing projects. But, that jack would also not be able to locate to any features on my toilet because it's sleek and modern.
I saw where Busted Knuckle started doing it in their high horsepower hill killing buggy. I don't see it lasting as long as a roller bearing but there's two other massive pinion bearings that will help cut down on the radial play.
I have met you, you probably reach down and grab the tank and walk out. My luck the tank would bust the base. I'd fall face First into the bowl after the back spasm and head butt the now unsupported tank on the way in.
