Sorry for my confusion. I misread the shop manual. I thought they were reaming the spindle itself but it was the bushing in the spindle that got reamed. They show bushing reaming tools for standard, 0.010 and 0.20 oversize.

I'm going to buy a standard size kit since one of the thrust bearings is cracked. I'll then punt and bring it to my favorite big truck shop.

Thanks, guys!
