MarcDeSoto's post in How does one install a crankshaft hub on 48 DeSoto? was marked as the answer
AACA told me to go back to using a hammer and block of wood. So I removed the hub and found some slight scoring on the inside of the hub. I used some 400 sandpaper on it and used some steel wool on the crank. then I greased the surfaces and used a stronger mallet with a hard plastic head. Then it started to move in. I moved it in far enough so that the Jaw could reach the threads inside the crank. I put a 1 13/16" socket on the jaw and cranked, but I was turning the engine over. So I had my helper hold the fluid drive ring gear with a ring gear wrench. So I think it's seated now. The pulleys looks lined up, so problem is solved.

MarcDeSoto's post in Well I did it again...1938 Chrysler Businessman Coupe was marked as the answer
I remember telling my students, 7th and 8th graders, that they would have to do a one page essay weekly in cursive hand writing. There was a massive rebellion and I had to relent on that. They truly can't write anymore except in slow as snails printing. Keith, does the red badge on the cowl say DeSoto made in Toronto, Canada?
