Trying to fit drive lugs (x6) into prop flange ?? 1) They are very very tight & I'm worried about getting them halfway in & then not being able to take them out again ??? 2) How do you put enough force on them anyway? - you cannot tap them in from the back as the gearbox is in the way ? Is there a special clamp to draw them in ( can't use a normal G-clamp)? Should they be lightly trimmed to ease their fitment??? Thankyou in advance.

Don=99t what ever you do hit it with a hammer and don=99t trim them either.
