Three questions, broad subjects.

[Great Lakes Greg]

1. An easy one. Can the pilot bearing in the flywheel be tapped in with a brass hammer and do no harm?
2. Getting a little more difficult. I want to put a modern seal in the end of the two tooth steering sector housing. I've done it twice before but can't remember the part number on the seal. Anybody know it?
3. I suspect I'll get ten different answers from ten different 'barners, but here goes. I want to powder coat an assembled rear axle with the drive shaft tube included. Do you guys think the baking process will cook the three rubber seals inside?
Thanks for everybodys input.

Just a note to remember the seal can't be indexed off the flange as it's angled somewhat.
Centre the bore in your lathe chuck.
