Can't you use the hydraulic press at your shop to push the bearings off and seat the new ones?

Well don't forget the Harbor Freight store for cheap tools.

Got the turd goin today. I messed with it here and there all day as I was supposed to workin on the trucks at the shop.. I took the helper spring out and kinda like it like that. sits a little lower.. now the left side leans even more than it did before. may end up puttin a spacer in that side to level it out. i only blipped the gas a few times just to see what the old turd was like.. so far i like the 4.56 gears just takes a while going down the road in only second gear
