Reply To: Rear axle build (big ford in Cat-426 1st series) 02 outboard bearing too tight for shaft

So my blacksmith just put it in the 75 ton press and done, then he said "get the puck outta here"! Where I had used the pessimistic measures to arrive at a diff. of .012 he used the optimistic ones to arrive at .006 Still, the bearing would not slide on when I had heated it and that still makes the Cat. manual a hsitshow.
