Crank Hole Finish Size For Pilot Bushing

I have done several 440 steel cranks where the hole was drilled but the bushing didn't fit into the hole.

I don't have a lathe, but I usually turn down the OD of the brass bushing by slipping it over a steel shaft (like a 1/2 inch socket extension) and spinning it up against a bench grinder wheel.

I've always been able to get the brass bushing down to where it tapped into the hole and worked fine.
