Inspection of a 904 torqueflite

When pressing that busing in. The lower part of the sun gear is solid and straight. It’s not gonna bend or flex. It worn hurt anything.

If you turn it over. There is nothing supporting that sun gear.....except the thin shell. If I press a bushing into that end of the gear. Without supporting the bottom of the gear with something solid. All that pressure is going to be absorbed by the sun shell. It can bend and warp.
I saw it flex and then return to shape when the pressure came off.
What I should have done....is take the sun gear off and press the bushings in that way.
Or .......just put a large socket under it to support the sun gear
