Methods to Prevent Guides From Splitting When Installing Liners

The person who taught me to broach bronze liners used hose clamps, but sometimes they crack. More often it’s when it has had a .502” service guide installed. So instead of hose clamps, I bought some inexpensive split collars for 1/2″. A person could machine them for another I.D., for larger guides.
