I guess my question is how tight should it be? it rides on the outside and it seems the ball should be all the way into the cut and fork, so it feels like i will have to force it onto this to get it to seat, is it ok to tap it with the rubber hammer to get it seated on the ball?
my transmission is back together and once this TO bearing and fork are installed its ready to go back into the car!!!! |

Tight but still a slip fit, make sure there's no rust and crud still in the hole.

Ok i will clean that out make sure of that and clean off the ball, add a little grease or lube? one other question i have too, the u bracket that holds the fork to the ball , the retainer that slides behind the ball, does the rounded side go behind the ball , facing the ball out toward the fork correct? |

Yes. And check that part for cracks that are very common. |
