If you have a metal lathe, try what I did.

Bought some Oilite brass tubing from McMaster-Carr and machined a pair. Now they are one piece and drive in pretty easy with a bushing driver. (Clean and oil the shaft hole in the casting first.)

Two advantages: They will not deform when installing, and two, they never need lubrication.

General dimensions: 0.001 per inch press fit on the outside diameter and 0.002 clearance for the brake/clutch pedal shaft. Opinions may vary.
