Bearings

[charlieannear]

Hi All

 

In the past I've always used the "get a socket of the same size and hammer them in" method, however, the bearings on my trailer are much bigger than that method allows for.

 

Not sure my oven will heat my drums (they are big too!) enough to allow dropping the new cups in even if I put the cups in the freezer first.

 

So, does anyone know a friendly workshop with a press?

I no longer have a large enough press in the workshop but, in the past, have used a pump up bottle jack, a custom welded frame and imagination. It works! If you don't have access to a welder and steel, substitute for a bit more imagination!

I remembered that I worked at a Univeristy with an Engineering Dept, so how's about that for imagination!
