I put them in the freezer for the night. I'll give it a try in the morning when it is cooler. The shed was 98o today and just now cooled down to 88o. Harbor freight seems to be the only store that has 50 MM race bearing tool reasonable.
working on the floor with fat fingers has its disadvantages.

They are both the same size (front and rear cylinder) for your bike but there are two different size gaskets that can be bought.

The freezer trick for me didn't make much if any difference in fitting the gaskets.
Here is what I did do that worked like a charm. I cut a 2 1/8" diameter out of some finished 3/4" pine that I had laying around. I put the gaskets into the holes so they would just stay there. Then I used my disc to push them in the rest of the way. Being able to apply constant pressure on the whole of the gasket made all the difference in the world. They just pop right it.
