inners are easy but the outers are a bitch.
lube them up real good with whatever you use--use an old ring, or a completely flat chunk of thick metal and apply even pressure.
a lot of the time, i'll have a friend help hold it down while i work the other side....2 pairs of hands make the work go easier.
