    If you’re going to beat it down to size, make sure you use at least a 2lb hammer as they do take some effort to move. Another way is to squeeze it in a vice if a press isn’t handy.

    If welding or brazing the shock together, care has to be taken to keep the two pieces aligned while doing the job. The driveshaft fits into a pocket inside the bottom half and if it can’t drop into this pocket, the driveshaft will be a bit proud and you may have trouble replacing the powerhead.
