in the old days they used a king pin reamer, which is a long reamer that makes a light cut to get the tool in, then that end goes in to the opposite side to center it when the main cutter makes it to size. so, both ends are in the bushings, and its all straight. but, as stated above, having it done on a sunnen hone makes a much better fit.
