Anyway, the drilling and tapping is not a problem and a hell of an
idea!

Perhaps what Bob was talknig about but I'd try a very small bolt. Drill
through the hub only, insert the bearing buddy, and then screw the bolt
into the side of the hub through the hole. I'd not apply too much
pressure.
I point out the bolt as opposed to an actual screw.



Use an allen head set screw. They are built for this and have a point. As
to launching with no bearing buddy, Cut a coke can in 1/2 and it slips
right over the hub. Put a piece of duct tape around if you want even more
protection.

Ooo.., good idea. I needed something to protect my assembled hub from dirt
and the like. I will try the soda can. Make sure it's empty before cutting?

Years ago, some buddies and I were in a Wal-mart type store, and there was a
pallet of cases of soda cans that were wrapped in plastic. One of the guys
wanted a case, so I whipped out the knife. and sliced the plastic across the
length of the pallet. My pocket knife is always very sharp. Hate dull
knives. I must have sliced 15 cans of soda. 7-up spraying every which
way. We casually left the scene of the can massacre.
