I have every part removed, except the bearing. If u remove the bearing how do u press it back on the shaft? I cut the inner flange plate to slide the bearing through the tunnel hole. Can I assemble it w/ the plate cut or will the water get into the flanges and rust the bearing. I really need some help here it has been 2 weeks and the shaft is still in there just about 1/2" from being out...thanx
