Does anyone have experience drilling an axle side bushing for a larger bolt? The axle bracket is wallowed out to ~11.5 mm at its widest, so I am thinking to drill it to 12mm or 1/2".
My sticking point with the plan is boring the TB bushing sleeve out another 2.5 mm or so to 1/2" - think I can get away with doing this in one shot or do I need to pony up for a 1/2" bit + a step in between? Hate buying single-use drill bits...
FWIW, I plan to do this with a Dewalt corded 3/8" drill without taking the bar off of the frame side bracket. If need be, I have a drill press available to me - though I'd hate to F with it if I don't need to.
