jeff Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If I press in new door hinge bushings, do they need to be reamed to the correct diameter, or are they already sized correctly?If they need to be reamed, does anyone know of a tool for this purpose? Any experience out there on this subject?(My car is a '38 but I am sure the question would apply to many different years.)Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I put some bushings in our 38 Special that I got from Chevs of the 40's. Didn't need reaming.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelsBuicks Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Jeff, I did this on my '36 Roadmaster. I first bought the bushings before taking the hinges apart. I guess I must have beat the hell out of the pins getting them out because they wouldn't fit into the bushings and they even looked bent. I ended up buying new pins with bushings and all is now peaceful in that department.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
