Be careful as you ream them. I just did a set someone else goofed up, they didn't ream them in line.... pins didn't fit, a waste of a set of bushings.
Ideally the pin fits very snug but fits byhand in both bushings when tried individually, and when slipped through one and into the next it may be a tad tighter but still pissible to do by hand, might need a dowel and a few taps of a hammer to get it back out again.
On the removal I agree beating with a hammer is much less than ideal. Ive been using a hydraulic press when necesary for years now, much better method.
