It is "methods" like this that make me extremely nervous about buying old
and used parts for TR6's. I'm sure the process works, but what it does to
the metal involved is what concerns me.
I've seen hubs break from stress cracks.
I wonder what the "popping sound" is actually describing.
In other words... NO THANKS.
Please use the proper tooling or get someone that does have the proper
tooling to do this job.
