Anyone have any tricks for replacing the lower (horizontal) trunnion bushing in the swivel axle assembly? After eliminating all the more usual suspects, it turns out my B's front suspension has excessive play there. The Moss catalog says "must be reamed".
 
Lee;
It's been a few year since I did my entire suspension using a fully rebuilt kit from The Roadster Factory. That made short work of it. However, you should be able to have the bushing installed and reamed at an automotive supply that has a machine shop reasonable. I put new kingpin bushings in my Healey, and a local shop reamed both sides for $75.00; half of what a specialty British car shop wanted. Clean everything before taking it to them, that will save some time.
