4. Counter-wind (C.C.W) fiberglass (slick surface) tape on a reversed 3/8 socket extension.
5. Connect to the reamer.
6. Turn the reamer clockwise slowly. Remove (C.W). Never turn a reamer counter-clockwise. Check for shaft fit. Repeat with a slightly larger cut until no drag is felt. Take your time. You can easily cut too much bushing material out of there. This shaft has a side-play of 0.008" measured with a dial indicator against the side-end of the fully installed shaft.
