Hey guys..

Got everything apart, cleaned, etc., new bearings, seals, caliper kit, pistons, etc.

Everything going back together just fine until I started to assemble the inside stub shafts. The crush sleeve that was in the kit looks like a straight cylinder, with no "give groove" like the one that came out of the original.

I got the races pressed in and the seal in place and pressed the inside race down to about 1/8" (play on the bearings), then put the big nut on with the "keeper" and started torquing it down. Well, I busted my rather large vice clear off my work table, using a 4' cheater bar on the dang thing.

Since this is my "first", can ya'll just confirm that it takes LOOOTS of torque to pull it the bearing in, and whether the crush ring that is just a simple cylinder will "crush" ??? I stopped when the vice came loose, and am searching for a socket I can cut in two and weld a piece of pipe to extend it to get over the stub shaft..

Thanks, ya'll..

Paul
