I did...It wouldn't go, even with two guys and hammers. The two ring gears are JUST different enough in ID that it won't work. I even lightly ground the inside of the ring gear to no avail.
Thankfully, it's steel safe and machining will be straightforward.
I forgot to mention there's also a 0.5" offset difference between the two flywheels. I'll be cutting the center out of the old flywheel to use as a spacer, it's within 0.050" in thickness vs. the offset needed.
