+===== Rocker Arm Bushing Reamer (94804-57) =====
+See also [[techtalk:evo:engmech04b#rocker_arm_bushing_replacement|Rocker Arm Bushing Replacement]] in the Sportsterpedia. \\
+This reamer is specially designed for reaming the rocker arm bushings from 1957 to present. \\
+It is the right length and cut to fit into the old bushing on one end of the rocker arm and ream the new bushing in the other end.
+|  "Jims" makes this reamer referenced to HD part number (94804-57) ((photos by Hippysmack))  ||

+===== Lapping Tool for Rocker Arm Bushings =====
+A lapping tool can be made from a 1/2" wooden dowel and a small piece of sandpaper. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
+Make the dowel long enough to run the full length of the rocker arm plus enough to get a hand on to turn it (12" or so). \\
+Use a hacksaw blade cut a slot down the middle of one end to hold the sandpaper. \\
+Make the slot longer than the bushing so you can be sure to have contact on the full length of the bushing. \\
+|{{:techtalk:ref:tools:wooden_dowel_lapping_tool_1_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}}|{{:techtalk:ref:tools:wooden_dowel_lapping_tool_2_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}}|
+Initially cut a piece of sandpaper to go one full revolution around the dowel. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
+Too many wraps will not slide into the bushing as it will then be too thick. \\
+You just need to turn or lap the bushing slowly and evenly. \\
+Grit of sandpaper will be determined by the condition of the bore and clearance desired. \\
+Insert the bare end of the dowel into the bushing to lap and exit the dowel out the non lapped bushing. \\
+This will allow you to basically line lap the intended bushing to help keep center between the two. \\
