mobilecastle... thank you for rewording what 12V98 was saying... now I understand completely what he is saying.
Now Cummins, doggone it you've stumped me again! When you say you "hit the inner edge" to tighten the slip plate, do you mean aimed your hammer inside the donut hole of the lube plate? To flare the inside diameter up (perpindicular to the plate) to create a lip? Or do you mean you smashed it in the same pancaked plane, but the distortion from the hits reduced the inside diameter of the donut hole enough to create friction around the king pin?
