I’ve had one of those hand impact drivers for eons, but lack
the long bit. I’ll have to look into some hex rod that I could
adapt to. Wonder if a “big” old Allen wrench would work?
Sorry about my faulty memory – Of course you are right – they are 2-¾” rings. I don’t like to use heat on those. Too much will mess up the heat treating and shorten the life of the bearing. I find a hand held hammer driven impact driver get the job done without the use of heat.
Get a foot of this hexagonal rod and grind one end to fit the screw – then use the impact driver . . .
Prepare to be boarded!
