The quick and dirty steps of doing the install. It's actually easy if you do these steps.

1. Sand the barrel out to metal with an 80 grit flapper.
2. Teflon grease the bore.
3. Freeze the bushings with dry ice.
4. Use a 3/4-10 grade 8 bolt 8" (if it has all thread). Or two bolts, 6" and 8", from farm and fleet. 4 washers and two nuts.
5. Maddox Front Wheel drive bearing install/remover from Harbor Freight. This provides the clamping surface.

The powder coating was thick. Not surprised why it was so hard previously. The grade 8 bolt, dry ice, grease, metal plates to clamp and sanding was the key. I would have paid Sikky 150 to press it because I spent more than that.
