jon haney Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If you can find something made of aluminum or brass, like a punch, then you can hammer on that without scaring the steel races. A fairly new rawhide mallet might also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANKSXXX Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Freeze the races before install...they will go in much easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes, temperature helps a lot when pressing shit. Chill the inside part, heat the outside part. But have yourself and the tools ready, sucks to get halfway pressed and have the parts lock up because the temperatures equalized and things got tight when you expected an easy slip fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
