dawarriorman Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 If you use the pipe method, I prefer a socket cause of their varying sizes, you probably won't want to reuse them. Chances are they will develop play in them from you beating on them, and that's no good mang. Exactly. You shouldn't use a hammer on a bearing unless its going in the trash. Press it into place. A good bench vise can work (be careful though), although a press is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
