I always preferred to use the no ream kits. Never had any problems with the spiral cut bushings like the quick set. Much faster. But it’s I’m glad to see someone showing how to do this properly. Reaming bushings is becoming a lost art.

Thanks for posting this! Got to do kingpins soon on my F100 when I put a donor 73 front disc setup in. I’m sure they are different but this shows me the process and now it’s not as mysterious. I followed the link for the tool but Amazon says it’s no longer available.

@williamallen7836 2 жыл бұрын

I'll get the brand and part number for the reamer I used on my 1968 f100. It worked great. Ge sure to use a little cutting oil. It helps the process, and keeps the cutter sharpens longer.

Doing the king pins on my F250 now, using an adjustable reamer with a tapered pilot just like that. Got the passenger side done, perfect fit. I decided to reset the reamer and work up to the pin fitting just incase it wasn't exactly the same as the side I had already done, reamed the bushings too big on the last pass. Damn, good thing the bushings are cheap.

@cbmech2563 3 жыл бұрын

The kaiser spiral bushings are much easier. The only time I had a problem was when the factory evidently didn't line bore the spindle before they put the bushings in, only afterwards. Then the machine shop had to fix it.

@@SemiWorkin I've never worked for a shop that reamers in good enough shape to use if they had them at all. Plus best, is the enemy of good enough. A dial indicator after assembly usually shows 2 to 5 thousands play. On a 24,000 lb axle I'm not sure I'd want it tighter and the stainless spiral bushings seem to hold up better.

Hi everyone i am from india we also use this type of adjustable reamer with tapered pilot on other end and we can bore these bushes on lethe machine but its need perfectionist man bcz sometimes the bore get loose

@mechantics 2 жыл бұрын

I have a 1967 Dodge D200 Sweptline pickup and have to do the kingpins. I got a kit with bronze bushings. Any recommendations for reaming the upper & lower bushings in perfect alignment? The previous owner seemingly got the bore correct on both bushings, but the fact that each was done independently of the other rendered a slight misalignment, which resulted in premature wear

Pity I hadn't seen this before I did my 1935 Riley. I did use guide bushes, but the adjustable reamer I have didn't have a nice long pilot. Thanks for posting.

@anthonyalvarado5899 2 жыл бұрын

I've been wanting to do this because not everybody nos what there doing and has told me there is a risk of spindle cracking so obviously your reaming the spindle cold. My plan was to warm them up and do the sand process also was going to use a brass bushing and press them in warm as well or is that not nessary?

No. It's just best to sneak up on the final size. Plus it's best to use a little cutting oil to help produce chips. There's no real blade in the sense most think of blade. They are basically scrapers.

Mercedes did,they used needle roller bearings and,although were ok gave problems also.after time the bearings became packed with dirt or moisture etc and got stiff and made the steering not self centre.these area much better set up if maintained.also many trucks like hino need to be cut to sized after as they are supplied this way from manafacturer

This is stronger. On pick up trucks with king pins, the bronze bushings last 100k miles or more if they are greased regularly.

@williamallen7836 2 жыл бұрын

They are made with excess material so they can be reamed to size, and in line with each other. Usaly there's an outer steel shell, and bronze bonded on the inside of the bushing. The wear very slowly if greased regularly. My 1968 Ford F100 should get about 100K out the bronze bushings I replaced. The derlin "no ream" bushings have to be replaced ever 20k to 30k miles. So thin bronze bushings are way better.
