OK. I have pulled all my rear frame out of evil and stripped it all down.

I have ordered rebuild kits for them. is this going to be a easy job?

I just read somewhere the the brass/bronze bush needs reaming..

and is there any trick to getting the bearings out??

Doc. I know you got this one.

Thanks in advance..

Cody

You are correct and they must be reamed IN LINE with the needle bearing.
NO I don't have the gear.
Take 'em to Mini Classic- (Greig Malaure) he did mine!

Thanks Doc. shame you don't have the gear.. could have made a case or 2. lol Do you remember what it cost to get done?

~$70 each I think. I supplied the kit. Only one side was bad.
Was a while ago.. give Greig a call.

My mate did his last week and reaming was needed, but saying that he recons the thing handles like a real mini now.
Ill try find out the size but im sure he actually honed it out and it cane up sweet, ill find out from him.
good luck

Jai,
Diameter is 13/16". Reamer needs to be piloted in the needle bearing at the other end.

out of interest. what tools would you need for this job Doc?

Adjustable reamer for 13/16" and then modify it to take a screw-on pilot. And a sleeve to fit in the needle bearing.
Another one of my many projects for the future.. .

well cause your the man will the skill. How about I get one for you and you do my work for free? sound good?

Actually I do have a suitable reamer here. Belongs to the local vet. One day, this year, I'll finish it off so it works....

I got a few options for getting a new one.

1. try and get it ordered from work.
2. Ring my old man and get him to call some family friends that have engineering shops.

give me a few week and I will have a new one for you if you are up for doing my radius arms

Thanks

Cody

The other problem with these arms is getting the old bush out. I've never done one, but heard they are a PITA.
Could probably screw a 7/8" W tap in there and then drive the lot back out with a drift. That's how I get the diff housing bushes out of remote gearboxes (I use a 9/16" UNF tap).
