<font size=3>I ream the bushing with a straight reamer first. Generally
I'll increase the pin size by .002. That is, I'll ream .001<br>
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<br>
to #21.5 (.051), burnished to a #21 (.052) and a #21 pin
installed. I rarely find that by repinning only by one size<br>
larger keeps the pin tight enough in the birdseye.<br>
<br>
Depending on the firmness of the bushing cloth or degree of friction you
are targeting you may need to burnish<br>
one size smaller than the new pin or ream & burnish to the exact
size.<br>

If it is a complete repinning. Select the size you are going to
repin to.<br>
Most complete jobs work well with #21. Now that is a
generalization.<br>
As you insert the broach keep twilling it. 2 or 3 revolutions with
the<br>
roughed up section on the bushing cloth.<br>
Then burnish about 6 times with the plain part of the wire.
Take a pin<br>
and test for fit.</font></blockquote></html>
