Does anybody have the instructions on how these things work? The books say to use them to size the intermediate shaft bushing but never shows or tells how it is done.
just what Rusty said..
buy an aftermarket bushing...
I can do that but I still wouldn't know how to use the burnishing tool. LOL

I would agree but that isn't strong enough. I heartily agree.that might "work" but the oem bushing is designed and sized to be burnished, not reamed, and def not reamed with no guide.
making a cutter, did it this way myself.I have an intermediate shaft that I filed a sharp angled groove into....I press the bushing with a hammer and 1/2 extension, then apply some grease and run the grooved shaft through the bushing ,turning it in like tightening a bolt. Drop the new shaft in and done.
Again, a cutting tool that removes material will tear the material. High and low, mountain range like surface that only a microscope could see. Burnish that surface is much like running the cutting tool backward. It lays the surface to a much more consistant plane. Because this is a soft material and press fit into a bore, the insde diameter closes up a bit. Burnishng brings all bushings to same size I.D. and finish regardless how much variance is in the block bores or in the bushings O.D.I thought if the tool just is being pulled or pushed through to displace (not cut) metal it's referred to as "sizing". If it's spinning through it's "burnishing"?
Come on tool makers, what's the story on it??
