...we needed 1.500" to make getting the retaining snap ring on the hex shaft easy to get on and off that mates thru this hub...

Sometimes you have to look ahead and think about "feasibility/easability" of assembly and repair when designing 'stuff'.

And 50-ton press for 7/16 hex broaching was not overkill... it was the right tool to make the task easy and predictable. The 10-ton hand arbor press we started with made the same task "interesting and challenging". But I must admit there was more fun doing it that way....
