Chevy TREs.
I have everything, but I'm not certain on what size reamer to use. I know there are several kinds of reamers and I'm just looking for the size and type.

I'd hate to spend $80 to only use the tool one time.
There are no other options are there?

1. Well ya might take it to a machine shop but they arn't cheep.
2. You can drill a hole and maker a taper with a file by hand (Not recommended)
3. You can buy one already drilled (To expensive)
4.Or you can buy the correct tool, do a professional job and when you are done you could charge 25 bucks to anyone else whom needs to use it.. (A guy can't have too many tools.)
5. Or you can get several friends together and each pitch in a few bucks.
6. Finally you can do like a friend of mine does when he gets frustrated, Thats just quit and sell out.
Pick one and go for it.

None of my friends do any wheeling so I'm going to have to buy and sell it looks like.
