Reaming out knuckles and pitman arm...

ZachMan · Jun 16, 2006

Is there any certain way I need to do this? I ma installing the JCR steering Saturday and using their 5/8" reamer to do it. I am having a local club member "guide" me through it, but I've never used a reamer before. I am told you can F it up if not careful.

Any tips to make this go smooth?

ya a low speed on the drill and lots of cutting oil.make sure to keep it a true 90* to what you are reaming .

That and tie the pass side knuckle back,and the drivers side forward so that they are againt the stops and wont "torque-out" under the load.

How does a dril lattach to the thing? It has like a T handle on it.

How do I keep it a true 90*?

Anything,just so it wont move when the reamer starts to grab(go slow/light pressure) let the reamer do the work.Ask XJNation(he bought me a nice shiny replacement one).

The reamer I have, the t-handle can slide right out. We took my brothers knuckle off and clamped it in a vice to get it straight. Not really sure how to get it perfect while on the axle.
