I bought spindles & kingpins for my ” ‘35 to hydraulic brake project” from speedway. 1st time for kingpins & new spindles. The ones I bought have to be reamed. Does this mean line reamed to axle holes or just check kingpin size & ream spindle holes for kingpins in spindles. A mechanic friend thinks we need to take the dropped axle out & ream both spindle KP hole & axle holes together. I don’t think so because Speedway offers a Prereamed Bolt in kit w reamed spindles fitted to KP’s in kit. Help!
