An even simpler method is mine: Get Jerry to come to your garage to tap and drill your crankshaft while you watch. wink

I will readily admit to being timid when it comes to drilling holes in a crankshaft. But all kidding aside, drilling and tapping the crank snout and then using the bolt as Jerry describes made installing the HB super easy. I don't know about anyone else, and Heaven knows I enjoy using the BFH as much as anyone, but I was about $4,000 into the rebuild at that point and the thought of whaling the daylights out of it with the BFH (or the BRH -- Big Rubber Hammer) .... Well, I had a minimum of enthusiasm for that approach wink
