<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN class=EmailStyle15><FONT face=Arial color=navy
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Having been a Millwright many years ago
one of the first things you learn is to never pound a bearing into place.
Always press, never pound. Pounding causes microscopic flat spots on the
balls, which leads to early failure. For the size bearings we are dealing with
the drill press is a good choice. Another is to make a sleeve to go over the
crankshaft and use your vise to press it into place. Always press on the inner
race, never on the outer race as pressing on the outer will also cause flat
spots when the bearing hits home and you put that little extra force on it to
make sure it is all the way on. We need to take every precaution we can to
make sure our bearings last as no one likes to change them any sooner than
necessary. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>
