Brake and clutch pedal bush fitting

Post by Lakeland997 »

I've fitted new bushes (Minispares 2A3034) to my pedals but the shaft won't fit through any more.
Does anyone know if they normally need to be reamed to size?
Sleep is my favourite thing in the world. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning.

Nearly all bushes should be reamed before assembly.

I suspect (but don't know) that you would need a 9/16th's reamer.

After fitting to take them back to the correct size.

I meant re assembly of the component, not the bush.

Of course the bush can only be reamed once it is fitted.
