Mark,
I do appreciate your post, it was very helpful in the installation of the 5/8
flanged oilite bushing in my tailwheel assemby ! Before asking, I tried a
search the KRNet archives but didn't find the needed information - it was in
the newsletter... Next time I will try both.
I followed the suggested in your post procedure, the only variance was the use
of Dremel tool instead of a reamer. The larger sandpaper rings of the Dremel
tool fit perfectly a 5/8" hole, and seems to ream uniformly the inside surface
of bearing.
My assembly seems to work fine, the time will show. For the 3/16-5/16 bearings,
I will certainly use a reamer...
Thanks again,
