King Pin Reamer

Just chasing up the size of the king pin reamer and do you need the exact VW tool?

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.
