Flywheel Ring-gear replacement [needed]
Updated: Got the old one off but the new one is too big. I need one for a 948 that has a 9-1/8" INSIDE DIAMETER
So.... My old ring gear was pretty chewed up. I've been watching ebay for a cheap ring gear or complete flywheel. I found a NOS ring gear for $20 shipped. Now I have to put it on.
Getting the old one off seems pretty straight forward, cut it with a cut-off wheel then pop it with a cold chisel.
I've read what I can find about putting the new one on; seems like the easiest way for a shade-tree mechanic to do it is to put the new gear on the gas grill until it is red hot, then drop it onto the flywheel. Some say to also put the flywheel in the freezer.
Anyone have personal experience to share?
Thanks,
David
