    Does any of the members here have the Tie Rod End reamer that Rock Equipment offers with their sleeves. I did a recent 2 1/2 lift on my rolling chassis and now the drag braces and steering bar doesn't fit. So I'm planning using the Rock Equipment's tie rod flip. I just hate purchasing the reamer for a one time use. I'll buy the sleeves but I was hoping to borrow the reamer from on of the members here, any luck?.

    Thanks in advance,

    I agree about the chatter mehh

    But what helped me was using a large tap wrench/handle to hold the reamer, and of course going very slow.

    I now check the tightness of the TRE's before and after a run. I'd hate to have one get loose and the hole become oblonged out. Worst case scenario I guess would be to drill it out and weld in an insert I guess.
