I've been converting my project car from 4 to five lug and have run into a snag. After installing new bearings in the rear, I attempted to draw the rear hubs into the bearing using the tool below. No matter how careful I am, the hub starts to go in crooked so I stop, not wanting to force it it.

So what's the trick to getting these puppies started straight? It seemed like an easy enough task.

I do have the rear arms mounted, thinking it would be better held in place. Would pulling the arms and having the laying flat be any better.
Thanks
