At least he is trying to use propper english. Capitalisation aside, there's some punctuation and no text speak. 6/10

yes you need to ream them out

do a search for 'ream' or 'reaming'

answers will be there as i asked the same question a few months ago

good luck

They need to be reamed to the correct size, yes. To do it properly, you'll need a guided reamer (a tool with 'razors' that basicaly 'shaves' off a thin layer of material, until you have a perfect fit).

I've often seen people using a non guided reamer or using honing stones. But IMO you can't get the bush lined up to needle bearing doing it like this, at least not 100%.

Oh and you might want to check the grease tube supplied in the kit - many of them are either brittle or allready cracked when new... :/

Btw: to what tollerance are people on TM reaming the bushes? We decided to ream them with 'zero' tollerance/no play.

as above, ideally use a guide or jig of some sort to do it

i did it by hand as im a rough git, and it turned out ok

We had a brass bush to knock in on the needle bearing side as a guide for a extended adjustable reamer. Worked very well & quick enough :)
