Gents:
Paul Rieffle at R-Sport (HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ANY service, ….ANY) has been my go to shop for final assembly preparations. I received this stunning piece today:
I called him about the process to fit the hub into the upright bearing, as I surmised the cold treatment application to the hub was in order. His response was the hub snugly hand pressed into the upright bearing (as pictured).
As this new bearing is quite stiff, Paul recommended a couple drops of Loctite 518 to either the male or female mating surfaces ought to insure the hub would not rotate inside the upright bearing.
Never done this before. Mentorship welcomed.
