Put a little bit of shock oil in and worked up in and out a little bit and it helped out a lot. Thanks for the tips

Body reamer?!? If you're talking about a body reamer, that wouldn't work too well, or at all for that matter. At least not for making an a-arm hole bigger.

He means a reamer a few thousandths bigger that the hInge pin. Super smooth action with no slop you might get from a drill bit. Available on most machine tool websites...prob eBay too.

Problem
With those reamers is they require a back and forth action to ream the hole. Won't work with arms that have a captured hinge pin (smaller or no hole on captured end) the reamers I'm referring to work by spinning and will ream up to the capture point.

I’m converting my Rc10B5 to a B5M. I’m using ASC’s conversion kit that comes with the 4 gear transmission setup. I just hit an odd point in the top bearing. The B5 uses a 6x12x4 (pn25238) bearing but they don’t fit in the 4 gear case. Looking at my B5M_lite book on the 3 gear it’s using a 5x10x4 bearing. It seems like that size could fit but the kit didn’t come with them. I cant see what I’m missing here.

There was a running change to the tranny case. It now uses a 5 x 10 bearing
