The 1" reamer arrived two days ago. I followed the advice here and took a bit of the edge off the reamer using well worn wet & dry (virtually smooth). Wound in very easily and used a spanner on the end to take a very light cut (almost nothing came out). Have rubbed down the sleeve OD with wet & dry to get push fit (took two days!). Lapped in the pump plunger with metal polish so it's free. Am about to assemble.

Even with a slip fit, I start the pump into the case in an much anti-clockwise position. As I tap it in I turn the tool that is screwed into the font end of the pump housing clockwise as it gets closer and closer to the correct position. This alone is usually good enough to get the correct position if you go very slow at the end.

I do have a rotation tool. I don't use it unless I make a mistake and go to far in a clockwise motion. I tighten it up on the pump and a few light taps on the handle will move the sleeve in an anti-clockwise direction.
