I can only say so much. You'll never know for sure till you try it for yourself.

I think you know what i'll do if I get a slipper. Part of the fun of being a mechanic is knowing these kinds of little tricks. Thanks, again.

Ok here is my pic, albeit late.

I looked at it, and attempted to stretch it on. No go. It would be nice if it were 3" longer. It seems like it would compress easier than stretch. I think I'm down to removing the drive unit and clamping the bell housing end first, then the bow end. (ooof)
