Abstract
A bushing assembly as a means to enable guided movement of a shaft in an opening of a housing comprises a stationary bushing support carried by a housing internal wall. The bushing support has a support internal wall defining a bushing support opening through the bushing support to receive a movable shaft. Carried by the shaft is a removable wear sleeve having a wear sleeve outer wall in juxtaposition with and spaced apart from the support internal wall to permit relative axial movement of the wear sleeve with the shaft within the bushing support opening. Disposed between and for contact with the support internal wall and with the wear sleeve outer wall is an anti-friction layer.
