Need 45 Mm Copper Or Aluminim Bar

[MrStabby]

The thowout bearing's inner ring, which is a press fit onto the carrier, is 46mm OD (40mm ID). So, i want to use a copper or aluminium (or maybe even hardwood?) bar so that when I hammer it onto the carrier I only touch the inner ring so the bearing is not damaged.

Any suggestions where to get a suitable bar?

Local aluminium supplier? You may need to machine it a little on a lathe though. The place I go to sells any type of extrusion for $12kg.

Can you use a socket

[Risking]

Don't hammer it with anything.

Use a large socket And a vice to press them together.
