It doesn't have to be perfect unless you're as anal as some of the guys on the forum who would have a coronary if something hand-fitted without a GM part number was ever found on their trucks.
Edit: There are several complete sets of adjustable reamers on Ebay right now, with extended shanks and centering cones- - - -exactly what's needed to line-ream the spindle bores for oversized bushings. Some of them are CHEAP! Search for "expandable reamer". There are several pages to check out, and I just counted at least 5 sets with extended shanks. Jerry
