I dont mean to sound like a dumb-ass, but if the snout is pressed all the way into the spindal upright, how could it come out (either pushing through because the flange will stop it, or pulling out because the bearings and spindal nut). I could see if the nut pulled off and the snount got beat on and made the press fit hole oval and then the snout would never really be a press fit anymore, but that would be a problem with the cast part and not the snout. The snounts are small, but i personally have never seen one break. But i have seen the thrust flange the inner bearing sits against, literally, get smashed and then let the bearings get loose. I made hardend washers to combat this problem, ive also seen the inner bearing race get loose in the hub and mees things up. Tell me more, I know ryan rose has issues with his spindals too.
