Can’t remember if the shaft is out or still in.
If it’s out, then:
I’ve just measured the outside diameter of a few long reach sockets in my tool
box. A 7/8” has an outside diameter of 1 3/16”.
Alternatively, use a hacksaw to saw (carefully) a long cut along the inside of
the cutlass bearing right through to the strut. This is how I did mine and it
just fell out.

Get a couple of heavy 1" id washers with a diameter 1.25 od or greater and
grind the od to fit the id of the strut. Then use them to spread the force of
the conduit or whatever onto the brass part of the cutless bearing.
