Joahannes, The only good way to do this is to use standard size pins and shrink the axle eyes back to standard size! It is very difficult to buy even the standard size special double-ended reamer, let alone an oversize one. As you have found, without the special reamer, which is double-ended and of two different sizes - one size follows the other through and then it is reversed, it is virtually impossible to get the bushes reamed in line. The brake bush does have to fitted as you say. If you have found a sound engineering way to ream in-line, then good for you, but prepare to have to push out the bushes and start again!
