Thanks Paul. :thumbs_up:

I have the bearings going together now. Are we using the backing plates/dust shields? I would assume not, being a lighter is better thinker. But before I press the hubs together, they would need to go on.

I would say not as well.

Ok, I am a dork when it comes to posting picks in the thread. I don't know how to post them large, like normal people do.

I have a few here that need captions, so I will number my comments.

#1: Safety glasses make me look even cooler !

#2: My 30 ton press

#3: I cut a relief into the bearing race, and then use a chisel to split it. Making
it easier to remove.

#4: The cut in the race.

#5: The cut in my face ! I took one for the team ! Hardened steel can be
brittle, and chip. Sending bits into your nose. Second time in 25 years I
did this to myself (last time left a chunk in my forearm that I can still
stick a magnet to). Next time I will put the safety nose guard on too !

I should have the hubs back to Ben Friday night.

Awesome! Too bad you didn't bleed near painting, we could have mixed it in. I'll give you a hands on photo lesson. Or maybe I should make a thread.
