[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1419323, member: 13598"] Helped a buddy 2 months ago do this: - technically, no plastics have to be removed if you have enough patience and the right tools; - air chisel is ok, Dremel with lots of cutting blades is better; - get lots of emery cloth, 180, 220, 340 grit. All of them. We would have beaten ourselves and bearing seats stoopit if he had not sanded, sanded, and sanded some more to make seats a slip fit instead of a press fit. - heating and cooling? No difference here, it was too hot out and components from the freezer warmed to ambient very quickly; -even with all that, we still had to compress the steering with the nut, and whack from the bottom to get things to move to seat.
