Its pressed, all struts have set screws as a "safety".

I'll take it to Scandia and have them press it.

I've gotta drop off a big boat MaxProp to get rebuilt anyhow.
I'll have them clean up the sad 35 year old bore. (Strut casting has 1/23/1976 on it)

And butcher?
There isn't a single tool or blade mark in the bore of the strut.
Butcher my a@#$
