Hi, been off the forum for a while but after passing my test on Tuesday I'm wanting to get my mini road worthy again.
When I was fitting new cones to the rear subframe, I noticed the radius arms wouldn't move freely and one was completely seized. I presume this would be due to it being sat for so long? I spoke to my tutor at college who used to restore mini's and he said he'd be able to give me a hand reaming them in the workshop facilities. However after doing some research i noticed some people mentioning that a special ream would be required, is this the case or would a normal reaming tool work sufficiently (13/16")? There are lathes in the workshop that I could probably use if it's alignment that required the special reamer?
Or should I not waste my time possibly ruining the ones I have and just buy refurbed ones from Minispares?
Thanks, Ollie.
