Thought I was finally going to finish my knuckle rebuild today... I was wrong...
Having trouble installing the upper steering arm and lower bearing retainer into the knuckle housing after placing it on the ball. Both are so tight that I can't even get them started (so that I can install the cone washers and use the post nuts to set the retainers into the housing). I am reluctant to use a brass drift to force them on... will this damage the bearings? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
