Its the sort of tool that was used for reaming steering king pin bushes on old cars that have a beam axle.

Ok, I think I found one called an "Extra long adjustable replacable bladed reamer".

McMaster.com Part # 3027A17

Man, these kind of tools are not common in my parts. What do you think Simon?

Sounds the right sort of tool, you need to make sure its adjustable from at least 20mm upto 24mm+ and that
it has the centralizing taper guide to ensure perfect alinement.

Hi Ade
the shaft drawing is for the 4500/5500 and Oz ONLY
however I do have a shaft drawing for the 856/857/857/957 as well Here

Ade, Simon did my Oz(4500), and my 957 swingarm at the same time and they both use similar parts, and work amazing. I have only 2 more carbon swingarms to convert and they are both 957 swingarms.

Hello all,

I'm going to build and install the swingarm sealed bearing system on my K2/Proflex 4000 this weekend and am wondering: how much material will I end up reaming off? Is the reaming necessary just to create a perfectly round mating surface for the bearings, or is it needed or increase the inner diameter of the swingarm mount sheel so it can even accommodate the bearings?

Thanks in advance,
- Doug
