[Rhodes22-list] Tiad bearing protectors.

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

   Joe,
   If the fit is internal, meaning you are trying to tap the cap into the
   hub, try putting the cap in a plastic bag, and stick it in the freezer
   for an hour or so. If it will shrink a couple thousandths it may go in
   easier.

     I measured it, and the closest one out there is 2.441. I got the
     item, compared it to my caps...Perfect Match! However, on
     attempting to tap in the protector, there was a severe lack of
     success. It had no tapiinability. The lip of the protector squeezes
     on, but it rails against my escalating levels of force, as if to
     mock me as I kneel beside the trailer with greasy hands. I could
     have gotten the same result by just repacking the bearings.

     reinstall the caps and put the source of my aggravation in the
     garage, where it can`t see me or openly gloat at my unmanly
     mechanical methodology. So, can anyone inform me how to solve my
     dilemma, and at the same time shame the demonic bearing protectors?
