so its basically just like running a tap.
I can remember using a reamer when rebuilding heads when I was in high school but its been quite a while since I was in school.
I am considering going to lonestar college to take some courses on welding and maybe some machinist classes. I have always loved seeing people use those cool tools.



Yep, like tapping.

You'll also need to use a press to get the old bushings out. I remember turning down a piece of steel for Kostya or someone to press out link/king bushings. I think there's a groove that has to be cut in King pin bushings with a file.
