Thanks you bus nuts that is a good article and the encouragement to get it done 
myself I am tired of drifting all over the road. Mark S. has a floor jack with 
a 
30 inch lift to get it up high. WW has a better price on the parts and a lot 
cheaper on the tool rental.

Thanks Mark J.

I have done it on my 63. You need the reamer. A new center pin will not fit and 
you have ream the beam for it to fit snug. Some people have used a brake honing 
tool, but it does not give a good cut top to bottom. Definitely rent the tool. 
For instant gratification repair a refurbished center pin is wonderful. You 
willful the difference immediately
