---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I ream the bushing with a straight reamer first. Generally I'll increase the pin size by .002. That is, I'll ream .001 over the old pin and burnish to the size of the new pin. So if a #20 pin (.050) is removed, the bushing is reamed to #21.5 (.051), burnished to a #21 (.052) and a #21 pin installed. I rarely find that by repinning only by one size larger keeps the pin tight enough in the birdseye. Depending on the firmness of the bushing cloth or degree of friction you are targeting you may need to burnish one size smaller than the new pin or ream & burnish to the exact size.
