'Do gears!" They said...
"It'll be great!" They said...
"Pull the pumpkin they said."...
"It'll tap right in..."
Guys, Ive spent many hours and calories trying to pound this MFer into the hole it goes in:
I've used 3 different race & seal driver tools, I've frozen the race, I've beat on it with a brass punch and steel punch, I've beat on the driver with ball peen hammer, rubber mallet, big ole hammers, and big effing 10lb sledge. I even tried to press it in with my 20 ton shop press.
The best Ive been able to accomplish is to get the race installed about half way, but super crooked. I know Im using the correct race, it is exatly the same dimensions as the old race.
As a last resort, Im going to try to heat the differential as I place the frozen race into the hole. After that, I am out of ideas and Im coming to you guys with my hat in my hand. This thing is kicking my ass and I need help.
