Got the axle halfs together today. It was quite a ***** to get the bronche discs into the fork of the right axle half.

Well, there is a problem, the new bushings are going real tight. I guess the bushings has been shrinking during the pressing procedure

Probably only thing to do is to take it apart again and get the bushings machined? Strange enough the service manual is not covering this procedure, so advice would be apreciated. Which tolerences should the bushings have?

Regards,
Karsten

Edit: Maybe this tool could be used to hone the bushings? www.brushresearch.com/Index.cfm/FuseAction/home.FlexHoneTools.htm
