if theres not already a hole there make sure u make a mark with a punch and guage it out . take your time. lubricate it as well.

theres already a decent sized hole, i was considering reaming it out, but i need it a perfect cylinder shape so i can press/weld the new stem in.

i cant find the size i need though.. i might have to bring it to a machine shop:(

or use a wood boring/paddle drill bit. Or like mentioned before the saw bits

well i managed.. as always:D

meatloaf let me borrow a pretty big bit, so i drilled it but it wasnt quite big enough, so i made a "home made" tool to finish it up, came out excellent for not having the right tools to do it..

heres some pics:p
