New king pins

[stumiister]

I ordered a set of Moog 8985b king pins for my truck, according to the Ford part number they are the same part, but boy they sure do look small compared to the king pins I install in the big trucks.

Should be around an inch or so in diameter. The bushings will need to be reamed.

I was afraid that someone was going to say that.
I usually install the Kaiser no ream kits in the big trucks.
what do I need to do to ream these bushings out?
