Awwwwwwww, hell no! You heat it up with a torch, slide it on, and cool it with WD. Then, press it off.
Ugh, gayness. It can't just slip off like on other trannies.

Welllllllllllll, not an idiot on this........ HahahahahaGood news! I'm not an idiot!
Bad news: there are 2 different O.D. worm gears- 1.76" and 1.84". Fahk. AutoGear said they don't use 1.76s because the pencil/driven gears aren't available anymore. Double fahk.
Reason I say that is I see myself in your situation, no way to true the thing in a drill press. I'm willing to take a chance because I have multiple sets of knuckles. I'll only take the chance after I calculate the risk though. I think I'd know as soon as I slid the bolt in the hole if I got it right or not though. If I'm smart, I'll drill 2 sets and keep an extra pair of knuckles in the trailer as spares. You'd be surprised what passes as a consumable in road racing.
I did the 2nd one on the shop table & w/o a doubt it's the better approach. I looked for a 'drill guide' to help keep the bits/process as plumb as possible but couldn't find anything that would work w/the 1/2" required chuck. I did find one set-up that you clamp your drill into but it looked liked the footprint of the base wouldn't work w/how I set things up. Since I had access to a magnetic-base portable drill press, I used it...Just do a better job than I did keeping the drill straight & true during the duration of the process. The larger bits tend to pull you where they're going so it was a PITA.
Love the Caddy! Ya gonna LS swap it?Since Ralph the truck died and departed, so I replaced the non-g project.
meet “Cinder block v 2.0” ( yes there’s a story behind that)

Since you only need 5/8" holes, a drill guide would work fine to do this on a flat surface. I put those pics up just as an idea of what I did to get it as plumb as possible. Took me more time to set-up than to drill a better hole vs doing it by hand (uni-bit to have a pilot groove; 3/4" pass, & final 7/8" pass).Noted.
