tire rod end reamer

[bottomland4x4]

i just bought a knuckle from reid racing and it was for a ford dana 44. well the tie rod end is supposed to be for the factory tre and it is way too small. i have a 3/4 ton dana 44 and this must be for the 1/2 ton tre. anybody have a reamer and could point me in the best direction to find one locally? i have the reid knuckle already on the axle and i still have the stock knuckle where i could take it and match the tapered hole with.

I've got a reamer, you're more than welcome to come out here to Reidsville to use it if no one else closer can do it. I assume you want the 1-ton TRE reamer, correct?

I have the reamer also. If its needed let me know.

i actually need to ream it out to the 3/4 ton ends i guess. the reid knuckle for the dana 44 has a lot smaller taper than the tie rod end on the drag link. it is a ford dana 44.

i just tried the 1 ton chevy tre in the factory knuckle and it seems like a perfect fit. so the chevy would work.

I think i have the snap-on reamer if you need to borrow one. It may take a few days to find it though.
