1 year after we purchased the press, we finally get to use it.

we didn't have any brass punches and instead ofusing a steel punch, we placed the old bearings in the new race then placed a pipe "no poop pipe must be used" and macked her down... worked great.

wtf is this? as we were checking the pattern i noticed this. It looks like the metal is just rotting from the inside out. so should i stop and replace the ring gear?

That last picture looks like the carrier, not the ring gear??
Just a typical porous casting on the carrier. It won't hurt a thing to use it.

of course since this is just going to be a roller... we took the breaks off and in order to fit the axles we had to make some "shop shims"
