Hello- new member looking for advice. Acquired an older build Tbucket with 49-54 Chevy spindles that have 18" inch wire wheels ( unknown brand) I'm trying to replace original Timken 15123 inner bearings with new Timken 15123 bearings and they won't slide on spindle. Old ones go off and on OK.
No obvious burrs, nicks eye on spindle. I also tried cross referenced National bearings with same results.
I've heard of heating the bearing but wondering if anyone has any other ideas.
Outer bearings fit fine.
Thanks for any advice !
