It said use a press, but a f’off big socket and 3 good tw@ts with a 14lb sledge hammer = job done. I put the new bearing in the freezer for a few hours, then gently tapped it in with a 2lb hammer and a hollow brass drift.

When I do bearings I use the old race with a slice in it to evenly hit the new one into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPSguru Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 39 minutes ago, JonC said: When I do bearings I use the old race with a slice in it to evenly hit the new one into place So do I, but these one piece bearings have raised inner race and quite a thin bearing shell, hence the hollow brass drift. Placing the old shell on top would need to be quite accurate to avoid damage. With this type of bearing a lot of folk freeze the bearing and then heat the drum to 200c. The bearing then just drops straight in, however, I am not a great fan of placing a -10c bearing into a 200c housing ! freezing the bearing and then fitting to the drum at room temp makes it a very easy fit. At some time I will run a good bead of weld around the bottom of the old bearing shell and then turn it in the lathe to create a small flange, which will assist withe the bearing installation.
