having trouble changing dimensions on imported stl

Hi, and Merry Christmas!

I downloaded a file for a friend of mine for a wheel center on a CFMOTO 1000 side by side. The only one worth looking at was built really well, unfortunately it is not deep enough.The original poster of the part (JeenyusPete)can not be reached as it is an old post. I tried tracking him/her down with no luck.I tried bringing it into Fusion 360 FREE with the mesh setting and removed a ton of triangles , but when I tried to select the surfaces to extrude it all goes bad in a hurry.I just need to make the part 12mm deeper so the axle nut does not push through it.Sounds easy on paper.If anyone can point me in right direction to a video doing something like this it would be very much appreciated.Not in a real panic either as it is Christmas.

Examine the Timeline - all of the information is there and you can edit as needed.

I took them to him yesterday and they will work . We figured out why the last iteration broke as he broke one trying these. The shoulder allows the part to go in to the axle nut and breaks it. It only needs to be pushed (hammered) in 10 mm or just till the teeth grab . Again Thanks. I will look over timeline and see if I can figure out how you did it with so few steps.
