I use a sutton adjustable reamer with a pilot.
Best results for alignment between both bushes mean that a pilot is best.
The king pin has a nominal size of 18mm for type 1.

Also noteworthy is that the German king pin kits are much better quality,
and require less work for assembly that the brazilian ones.
