[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1191385, member: 79865"] If the bushing is brass or bronze, and is in the steel plate when things are heated, you won't be able to get it out because it expands more with the same change in temperature than the steel plate; brass and bronze have higher thermal expansion coefficients than steel. Stainless steel has a higher coefficient than carbon steel, so if you have a stainless bolt in a carbon steel receiver, I would expect that with enough heating and close enough tolerances, it would stick.
