When I did mine I disassembled it and put the hub on an electric hotplate on high for about 10 min and picked it up with welding gloves and it slipped rite on to the limit , then I put a wet towel around the hub to cool it down so it would not hurt the seal , it worked great ! I learned that from Isaac G , BUY THE WAY ON MY SOCAL KIT THE 3 BOLTS ARE JUST TO REMOVE THE DAMPER , NOT PUT IT ON ! GOOD LUCK !

Thanks guys

I had my machine shop take a few thousands out of my hub lol. Was tired of fighting with it. Takes a little pressure to take it on and off now, but with a keyed crank, not worried about being such a tight fit



Trust me I’m thinking about it.

when I had my crank balanced, he had to hone the hub to have the proper amount of press, it was too much out of the box.

Does the studs on the water pump need sealant? When I pulled it out I I noticed there was some on it.

No, the rtv seals between the block and timing cover. It squeezes onto the stud when you tighten the cover down.
