It's just 13/16" not 1 - 13/16"
it needs to be reamed concentrically to the bearing diameter, the original ones had a bush to go where the bearing fits and the reamer is a longer rod that is supported by the bush.

As Alex said, needs to be 'guided' so it lines up with the Bearing. If you look about you might find a Reamer Pilot that's long enough.

They look pretty neat. What would this cost?

it features hardened steel arbour, changeable cutters when it eventually wears out, a brass bush to align the tool with the other end of the radius arm, and a drill mounted bore polisher to take care of oversized shafts that are sometimes found in the aftermarket rebuild kits, or to apply a clearance if you like to run a bit of extra grease clearance.
£195 plus shipping.

Sure is, I guess depends what it cost to get replacement arms or your own reconned, must admit I have never replaced rear arms / bearings / bushes other than the ones I bent...if "new" and greased properly and regularly they pretty much dont wear out I believe

Just about to do this job myself and was thinking I'd give it a try to see how well it works

Thanks for the quick responses. Back to trying to find the correct size reamer. Would you suggest a tapered reamer or not?
Hand Reamers are Tapered, Machine Reamers are Parallel.
The Taper on the Hand Reamers is only on the first 1/3 of it's length, then they are parallel.

Got mine here.
Can't remember if it was that exact one, I rang 'em & told 'em how long it needed to be. You'd either have a bush made up for the bearing end (like AC's), or figure out a way to extend the nose - maybe by making it screw on to the turned down end of an old pin.
Sure there's an old topic somewhere.
