I've been trying to edit my post. It's not cooperating. Anyway, I was going to say that she wouldn't let me work on RT anymore until I finished her bike...

So I finished it quickly.

it should tap on down. put ajustable wrench on tube, & tap on the wrench with hammer.

If its sitting against a step, and it looks like it fits, then i would grease grease it before you start tapping. Its possible it just doesnt fit though. Go slow. Rubber mallet.

 

[SoulGarageOH]

Ungreased or greased... it doesn't fit. It is sitting on a step.

Maybe touch the area on the stem with a little sandpaper and rub with paint thinner and clean rag and try the race again.

 

[SoulGarageOH]

I gave the sandpaper a whirl. It didn't work. I'm going to try a metal file next. If that doesn't work, I think I'll be looking for a spacer.

So you have a die grinder ? Grind the Inside of the race till it fits ...

Metal file worked! With a little help from his friends. Thank you for all the suggestions. I probably would have given up and purchased something I didn't need.
