Just the kind of info I need! I'm an early riser so consider that crank going in tomorrow morning. Should I install the crank gear with a hammer and pipe sleeve or draw it on with a stud and sleeve in the end bolt hole? It seems some oven time might be good for that gear like 200 degrees? Hammer method before or after crank is installed? Thanks!
