Nice job fixing the bushing Wayne.

When I install a new bushing, I flux and then wrap thin jewelry solder around the bush.  Then I press it in the hole and apply indirect heat (I also put wet rags over the rest of the boiler).  Once the solder starts to bubble, I give a quick direct flame on the bush and that usually does the trick.
