Now I'm putting it back together, and I can't figure out a good way to get 85-90 lbs of torque on a 60 lb. Frisbee!
I don't want to torque against the pinion gear, that seems like a bad plan, and a good way to chip or break gears...
Suggestions?
Anyone?
Thanks,

Use it as an anchor as you tighten the other bolt. Keep rolling the ring gear around one bolt at a time and wedging the one you just tightened until you go all the way around.
