OH poop! I bet I broke it on the install. The bearing I got is the exact same bearing on the other end. Same size. Are both sets of bearings usually the same size? Perhaps forcing the bearings on the shaft weaken it but I bet I broke it when tapped the bearings with a hammer. I didn't realize they were so fragile. The bearing did not fit well into the bore either. I covered it with a folded rag and tapped it in with a hammer. Sounds like I probably killed it with my hammer!?!? That right? Man I have a lot to learn.
I have to go bend some steering parts back to straight. Kids crashed it. I was going to lightly heat it with a torch and then squeeze it in a vise. Is this idea okay? Since icm new, I gotta ask. Lol. Thanks again for your advise X-bird.
