anybody stuffed an SA works inside one of these shells?
I have done it by putting a couple of old spokes in some of the spoke holes, clamping the spokes in a vise and resting the flange on a piece of wood to protect it, and with the spokes holding the shell against rotation, go to town with a hammer and punch.
New hubs that have not had the ball ring torqued by riding it don't need to be held in place I have found.
