[TheForge] grease clearance?

Mon Feb 25 18:28:01 2002

        Bob,  I've always gone by the rules of oil needing .001-.003 over
and grease to be .005 - .010 over for the ID of the hole.  That's just the
way I approach it.

piece of dom seamless tube with a 3/4" hole. i run a .750 reamer thru the
hole to clean it out.

much room for grease. it goes in very hard if at all..

reamer but i don't want a wobbly wheel.
