Small bevel wheel broke because apparently forced on by the factory. Got two new bevel wheels from GasBike and neither will slide onto the shaft. Needs to go back about 3/16 of an inch. How do I get the wheel on? Thank you!
Well I fixed it. It was a defect in the shaft from the factory where the shaft is tapered (small in diameter in the front compared to the back). Did not have a dremel tool so used a metal screw tip holder and contact adhesive to hold and wrapped the sandpaper around it. Then sanded the inside of the wheel (not the shaft) a little bit at a time and rechecking the fit until I got a perfect fit. Did not have to hammer it or force it on. Where there is a will, there is a way!
