Ken P, I don't know if the ring gears are beveled on our 115Cs. The procedure the presenter described, after the flywheel is off of the engine, is to heat the ring gear with a torch. Be careful not to over heat it or get it red. Just enough heat so the gear will slip off of the flywheel. To istall the ring gear, he said to get the flywheel cold and then quickly fit the ring gear to it. I don't remember if he said to reheat the ring gear to install it. I have never done this job, but maybe you have some experience with it.

The Flackmaster was there and may want to check me on this procedure. He is the coordinator-organizer for the Salado tech sessions, and he does a great job.

Good luck, and let us know how all of this turns out.
