again, check PFL FL differencies. They fixed weak subframe mount point on FL chassis. And check how metal looks on my video. You would do more bad than good by trying to reinforce it.

Just a piece of advice. The bearing must not be hit with a hammer during installation. They harden the surface of the bearing. The surface may be damaged. You can only squeeze. By the way, precise work.
