I just drilled a hole, maybe reamed it to size (I forget) and used Loctite 620 between bushing and aluminum. If it was a press fit, I probably just tapped it in place. With 1130 hours on the plane, there is no noticeable play in the rudder hinges. If you want to do as you plan, you can drill the hole in advance. The hole will grow with the rest of the part.
