You are correct though, it does require a close fit on the bore, which is pretty easy with the reamed part as a gauge. I would personally bore and turn that end in the same set-up and then flip and indicate for the other end, but Ed stated that he wanted to use a reamer it so making a stub arbor or pressing a mandrel in the bore would be the best option.

I don't necessarily want to use a reamer. I was just voicing my opinion on how I thought I should do it. Plus, I have a 17mm reamer already. If boring is a better way to go then I don't have anything against boring instead of reaming.
Thanks for all of the ideas guys.
