Try some anti seize and use a 5/8" redi rod to suck the H/B onto the shaft until the standard length bolt engages the threads. Most auto parts or hardware stores should have this. Rule of thumb is to have a minimum thread engagement the diameter of the bolt your using and you shouldn't pull the threads. I have used a rubber dead blow hammer and chain wrench to hold the shaft but the longer bolt is still the best method. Usually the longer bolts are in the H/B puller/install kit??

Are they referring to a hammer? I wouldn't want to bang on it considering that would mean banging on the thrust bearing. I have it on but its not on deep enough to get any threads started to suck it down into place. I tried a couple of stores for a longer bolt but 5/8"-16 bolt is hard to come by. Any ideas? Thanks, Sheen _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store>
