Long Pilot HSS Blade Adjustable Expanding Hand Reamer | KINGPINS Ream | Repair Work | Workshop Tool DIY (H10 : 27/32" - 15/16" (21.4-23.8) mm)

Works as it should

Nice tool delivered fast. The H7 I ordered odd the size for beetle king pin bushings, which is .710 inches.

The H10 reamer is a good tool, however it would be better is it came with adjusting instructions.

Used it to fit idler arm bushings in a '54 Chevy 210. Worked fine. The lady that owns it has a better handling car now. With the bushings so close together I had to put the alignment cone on the bottom. It feels good to do these jobs requiring old time skills.

This reamer was perfect for reaming in replacement bronze bushings on F100 king pins The movable tapered guide allowed smooth centering of the tool and lockable blade depth allowed precise ream diameter

Worked perfect. Vw beetle.

We set about to install a disk brake conversion on our daughter’s 1967 Bus. We found bad king pins and link pins. After searching all over the country for parts, we were ready to tackle this little project. Then came the realization that we’d need a reamer for the king pin bushings. Called all the same VW speciality shops and nobody had the correct size reamer. Contacted machine shops who volunteered to loan us a reamer, but weren’t interested in fooling with a 56yo spindle. (The bus king pins are larger than the more common beetle’s.). Searching Amazon we found this reamer and ordered it. It allowed us to keep the bushings aligned and micro increase the ID. Worked like a dream.

The tool is very precise, works as intended, easy reaming of bushings axially centered. Shipment was very fast, less than 1 week across continents.

Delivery speed to Australia was very good. I used this reamer for my VW Beetle King Pin bushes. The bushes require reaming to approx 18mm, with this reamer I was able to take my time and gradually ream out the bushes to the perfect size. The bushes are made of brass so the cutter made light work of the job. The advantage of the reamer is the guide, this allows the reamer to run true through both bushes to ensure a perfect ream. The second job for the reamer was on a new set of spindles, these were made of high quality cast iron and required reaming for the king pin. I was unsure if this would work, but taking it slowly (small increments) and using plenty of lube it got the job done - no worries.
