Do I need a hardened intermediate shaft for a HV oil pump?

As long as it is an aftermarket (not Chrysler) bushing, it will not need reaming with the special tool. The aftermarket bushings are sized so that when they are installed they are the correct inside diameter.

At least I think it was replaced it looks to be made of brass, would that be something that a machine shop would do when they bore/prep a block? If not then I guess it's the original one...if so that means it will have to be reamed? Can this be done without taking the motor apart? Or is that inevitable if the shaft doesn't fit?
