Tony,
My bushes were a very good sliding fit- no play but once lubricated with
Aeroshell grease they had relatively low friction. I wonder whether the pin
enlargement process has slightly distorted the torque tube and it is no
longer pefectly round? This should show up as witness marks/shiny areas on
the tube if you rotate the bearings dry a few times.
