Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm doing VW Beetle spindles which are ridiculously tiny compared to those monsters you're messing with!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
what size reamer is needed to do that im about to work on a kenworth and all I found was that type of king pin and bushing, a buddy told me to use a brake hone idk if that would work as precise as the reamer, thank you in advance
It works good enough. I personally want to use a reamer too. Looking online. His is listed as 45 to 50. I'm curious where he is getting the lip and bushing installer too. Adjustable Hand Reamers solid Long Pilot with Guide Sleeve (King Pin / King Bolt) Should find you the reamer if googled.
Nice!! Got the tools and the brains to do it, we Neanderthals have to go with a No-Ream helicoil looking kit, no press so we are forced to do such kit 👏👍
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.
No ream and the fit of them shows half the time....they are cheap and easy so parts changers can do them...couldn't pay me to use that junk in my trucks.
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
Well, when your door hinges are tasked with supporting the weight of a trucks front end while permitting smooth steering with proper correction and stability while traveling at 70mph, please let us know how they hold up😁
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.
No crappy background music makes these videos attractive to watch.
👍

Thanks for watching!! I like the no ream brass bushing kits but sometimes you got to work with what you got.
I'm with you tex. No ream kits are 100% better setup.
On the volvo truck with air ride steer axle you cannot get spiral bushings only ones that have to be reamed.
@@vitaliy546 I left the Volvo world years ago. That sucks.
Glad to see a centralizing pilot being used.
Thanks for watching!!
Great channel! It would be even better with some voice over or details on-screen about the specifics of what you're doing.
Nice to see a fitter at work rather than an assembler 👍

Buen trabajo ¿siempre es necesario escariar el casquillo?
Great video what is the device that keeps the reamer centred called ? And do they come with the reamer ?
man, wish that reamer was still available, it's exactly what I need for my pete
You are very professional
I have got to ream about 6 steel bushes of about that size... Not looking forward to it now, but thanks for the instructive video.
Boa noite daqui de Portugal gostei do seu vídeo parabéns muito profissional espetácular obrigado um grande abraço para você helder Henoch
Truck ke kamani me jo ghode lagte hai un ke bush me konse Reamar lagta hai batao

What’s the part number on that kit

I’ve never seen this done before I use The stemco quick kit
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.
Thanks for watching!! Not a fan of spiral bushings this way is an exact fit.

Amazing video
There is any machine to rotating the reamer ?

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?
Don't ever press in a bushing that has been heated it makes it bigger heat expands cold contracts
Como se llama esa herramienta
Hey please reply I have a steertek axle are all bushing same size I need a pushing tool.
What size reamer you using
what size reamer is needed to do that im about to work on a kenworth and all I found was that type of king pin and bushing, a buddy told me to use a brake hone idk if that would work as precise as the reamer, thank you in advance

I'm curious where he is getting the lip and bushing installer too.
Adjustable Hand Reamers solid Long Pilot with Guide Sleeve (King Pin / King Bolt)
Should find you the reamer if googled.
Where can I get a hold of that reamer and pilot? Also like that bushing installer.
Thanks for watching!! Link is in the description.
Where can I buy that riming tool
Nice!! Got the tools and the brains to do it, we Neanderthals have to go with a No-Ream helicoil looking kit, no press so we are forced to do such kit 👏👍
Thanks for watching!!
What's the size of the reamer?
허브가공을 멋지게 잘합니다.

How to find brack duream size laner
Have you ever come across tapered king pins, common of Leylands in my time on the job
Yes I see them often but they hold up much longer so I don't do as many. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Mack is famous for using them.
Almost forgot how to do, after start to work small cars.😊

Good
I work do ream King pins. Will not do it. If I cant do no ream kits it's getting new knuckles or they can send it to another shop.
Thanks for watching!! This way is an exact fit and pretty easy to do it just takes time and a little patience.
Never seen it done like that, that ream must be dull as heck
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.
If you watch some videos of tis work being done in some countries, such as Pakistan, if the pin doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer...
I use Stemco king kings no reaming needed
No ream and the fit of them shows half the time....they are cheap and easy so parts changers can do them...couldn't pay me to use that junk in my trucks.
todo el tiempo es un dolor de guevos estos trabajos de dirección
A lot of work for a glorified door hinge. Why oh why the manufacturers didn’t fit two ballbearing.
I think Mercedes do
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.
Well, when your door hinges are tasked with supporting the weight of a trucks front end while permitting smooth steering with proper correction and stability while traveling at 70mph, please let us know how they hold up😁

Be nice to know what you’re doing with some description ….. 😢

Damn man you are taking most of the bearing away.
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.
Where can I buy the reamer for this type off work please help
