-===== Modified Cover for Reaming =====+**Homemade bushing remover**: \\ 
 +The puller is made from 1" ID black pipe and 1/​2"​-13 threaded rod. You tap the flex head-puller head through the cam bearing. \\ 
 +The little nub puller with a collar that you knock into the bearing is made from 3/4" rod. Then screw the rod into the head to tighten the jaws. \\ 
 +Then place the collar over the rod and nut to start the pulling. \\

-===== Reamers ===== +
-**Cam cover bushings**: \\ +
-The reamers for the cam cover bushings (#1, #3 and #4) need to be chamfered (chucking) reamers. \\ +
-The ends have a short chamfer that will enter the blind bushing bore and not hit the rear of the bore before finished cutting the bushings. \\ +
-The reamer for #2 cam can be a tapered bridge reamer on models with nosecone ignitions. \\ +
-(the hole for #2 cam is open  to atmosphere so the reamer has plenty of room to extend past the bushing) \\ +
-Else it will also need to have a chamfered end. \\+
  
-Cam cover reamer sizes: ​\\+====== Bushing Installation ====== 
 +These are typically knocked in with a commercially available long rod and a hammer. \\ 
 +Below are a couple homemade tools for installing the bushings. A knocking rod and a compression plate. ​\\
  
-9/16" ​for the pinion shaft bushing\\ +The knocker rod is made from 1" ​aluminum bar stock with a .030" shoulder to recess into the bearing, ​.030" ​into the case((fergerburger of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1349714)) ​\\
-1-1/8" ​for #2 cam bushing\\ +
-11/16" for #1, #3 and #4 cam bushings. \\+
  
-**Case bushings**: \\ +The compression plate is made from a scrap steel plate. The bolts screw in to push the bushings in placeSee the [[techtalk:​ref:​tools107#​reverse_engineered_cam_bushing_installer|build pics]] below by Hippysmack. \\
-A single reamer ​is all that is needed for the case side bushings ​as all the cam bushings are the same size in the case\\ +
-The normal way of reaming ​the case bushings is to split the case and ream case bushings ​by using the cover bushings as a guide. \\ +
-This will require a bridge reamer with a tapered end. \\+
  
-If reaming the case bushings from the outside ​of the cover bushings, you'll need a chamfered ​(chuckingreamer with a short chamfer\\ +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​tools:​homemade_cam_bushing_tools_3_by_fergerburger.jpg?​direct&​300|}} ((photo by fergerburger ​of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1349714)) {{techtalk:​ref:​tools:​cam_bushing_installer_41_by_hippysmack.jpg?​direct&​300|}} ​((photo by Hippysmack){{techtalk:​ref:​tools:​cam_bushing_installer_39_by_hippysmack.jpg?​direct&​300|}} ((photo by Hippysmack)) ​ 
-The long taper will go in and touch the flywheel before the blades have a chance to cut into the reamer. \\ +===== Modified Cover for Reaming =====
-So reaming the case side bushings will not be possible with a bridge reamer from the outside of the cover.+
