JeroenI too would caution against doing any reaming of the spar 
bushings.

While I marvel at the ability of some who have mastered single-handed 
wing installation, in my personal experience I have always depended upon 
having helpers on each wingtip who subtly adjust both dihedral and sweep 
while I insert the spar pins.

I also keep a tapered pin and rubber mallet handy in order to help 
achieve proper alignment.

this works for me
