Brief Description:  Reamed the aileron bellcrank bushings.

Sean helped me out again today by teaching me how to use a tool I have never even seen before. An adjustable reamer was just what I needed to ream out the brass bushing that fits inside the aileron bellcrank assembly (WD-421). He suggested I clamp the bushing in a drill then clamp the drill in a vice. This held the pieced steady without deforming the tube. I used lots of cutting fluid and went nice and slow. They both turned out very well.
