Hello Tony,
I used the correct reamer, bought from yourself, so I think it is done correctly, certainly one side has worked out. I found the pin would not at first go through the axle eye, so I used a straight 1/2" reamer to remove what I think were a couple of burrs, easily removed. Once the pin was though the axle eye I could not detect and side to side movement. I had an axle like that a while ago and had the eyes shrunk by welding to cure it, the wear was quite evident in the bell-mouthing of the axle eye.
Thanks for the thought
