460 Creeper drum goes in hard over pto shaft key

got the relined pto bands back.
My last problem is the creeper drum not going on over the key in the shaft very well (maybe 3/4)

I used the cover and tightened the bolts to push it in, but then the bearing started to push out-- Does anyone know - should it go on that hard, I dont want to damage it, but it seemed the puller pulled it off alot easier see my pics on 460 utility pto bands. (shows creeper drum)

I know it is sliding over the shaft (3/4 on)- almost all the way on, but the drum is not on enough to get the bearing locknut screwed on.

So i thought of putting a round disk object bigger than the bearing and retighten cover using object to press it on all the way- again dont want to damage it

So do these go on hard over keyed pto shaft

thanks




Other info on PTO Bands

The bands cost me more than i thought, as i let the Int-Case dealer send them to a brake reliner- I was not sure what i would get sending it out myself, and they would likely have to warranty it if it fell off. The liner material had cross relief lines (criss-crossed) as apposed to old circular style reliefs in original liner. The Service guy told me he had used them for years. So it cost me $240 for both- overall thickness is .260in or 6.3mm i think. liner is about .125 thick so better than the $625 quoted each new.

I would pull it back off, Look at the key to be sure it is seated in the "way", also be sure the drum is going on the right side out! (Just discussing not accusing) if still tough, I would polish up the pieces with 25 grit paper clean it, then use engine assembly lube to assist the install, do not force it. Jim

Thanks Jim

I looked at the picture i took when i rmoved it -creeper drum still connected to the cover plate pict 6 of 33 and pic 8 of 22

and the drum is going in correctly, on probably 3/4 of the way, but last tightening of cover bolts pushed the bearing out - not all the way out of cover but close, so you can see by picture- drum hub small diameter, goes into sun gear hub.

I just was wondering could i do damge if i kept tightening bolts on cover with a round disk in between to keep the braring from popping off, ie something bigger diam than bearing but fits in creeper drum inside dia.

I can certainly use puller to take it out, it comes out easy with /14 in drive ratchet on puller.

I also made sure key was flat in "way" {key-way}
even all the way accross.

I could try to clean it again, and sand it litely clean again and use the pto oil(clean) on it
creeper drum key way is 1 oclock looking down

I would not force it with the bolts. I would clean it up and go from there. Jim
