Brake hone to modify a brass bushing?

I've installed new spindle bushings, and they're ever so slightly smalled than the O.D. of the stub shafts, meaning, they won't fit over!

I want to make sure that whatever I use opens up the I.D. of the bushing evenly.. removing the bushing is not an option.

My initial though was a brake hone like this... any other ideas?

Brake hone will work fine, I've use same for sizing king pin bushings before. might take a bit of time, but it'll work.

Just be sure the stones are able to span any lube channels in the bushing with out dropping in, our you'll rip the stone off or worse.
 
Rich the machine shop I worked at did it on the machine that we sized and honed rods. Just a different size hone.
 
Thanks guys.. It was really a WTF moment when 4 spindles wouldn't fit over any of the stub shafts..
