Hi. I have an aluminum piece with a hole. There was a tube pressed into
that hole, but I pressed it out and want to install a different tube. The inner diameter of the hole is slightly larger than the new tube that I want to press fit into the hole. The new tube can be inserted into the hole without a press fit, but it does not rattle around. This is not a tight enough fit. It has to be a press fit. I am hoping there is a tool to reduce the inner diameter of the aluminum hole so that the new tube is a tighter fit. From searching around, it seems that I may need a knurling tool. I have a 20 ton shop press, and I am hoping to find something that I can press through the hole to make it a smaller hole, causing a press fit for the new tube and aluminum piece. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Sorry to not list a real e-mail address, but it is to avoid spammers. It is goteverwhatyouneed at yahoo dot com. Thank you very much. |
