911obgyn - I just made another attempt. Heated the other hub to 285; pulled the inner race from the dry ice, and attempted to carefully insert the race into hub. Then, I meet resistance fairly soon.
That initial resistance/seat is not uniform around the race. There's one or two resistance points, and then you can feel the wobble of the race --- which explains why it won't go in straight.
I'll try again to clean it up and smooth out the hub seating. Would hate to have to replace the hubs @ $900 each, new.
