[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3079847, member: 93138"] Average aluminum (aluminium?) can is about .003" thick and likely getting thinner as mass production technology allows. We've used them to set-up an ACVW's transaxle R&P diff carrier bearing per-load in the desert. Can't see why they wouldn't work for this either. Maybe not to prettiest way to get it done, but functional. FWIW the 'tool' that I used to turn in front rings was a ~12" long piece of Ø1" wood dowel. It didn't risk marring the rings like a metal bar could. Good or bad method didn't matter, it's how my bosses wanted it done. We had this one lbs OD green can of what claimed to be "Breech Grease" (or some wording similar) that we used to lubricate those dovetails before turning them in. Agree, turning them in dry is not a good idea. Can also bed the rings, but discussing that is a whole new thread all by itself. [/QUOTE]
