AGGGHH!!!

I took the Eaton to the shop to get the bearings removed...now how do I get the new ones on...? Tried the heat trak can't get it hot enough to slip on....this sucks! Hints? Tips?

 

I did a 10 bolts on my Z and T/A. I cut the old bearing with a dremel. I split it with a cold chisel. Then I used the old bearing to tap the new bearings on. worked great! Did'nt I reply to your post when you were trying to get the bearings off? If so sorry if I am cutting in with this old suggestion.

 

Yeah...but that was about getting the Bearings off.

 

From your name, I assume you like hot things. Bearings don't. If you got them above 300 F, I would not use them.

Carrier bearings need to be pressed (hammered correctly) on. that simple. Heating them will make it easier, but don't get above 230 F.

I used one of those crummy porta stove things and a frying pan. Proabbly didn't get over 100degrees but everything seems fine.

What's a good way to hammer them on. I used a wood bluck but htat only got me but so far.

 

you need a large cylindrical metal punch type tool that fits just over the size of the bearing, and it needs to be centered when hit, mine went on the carrier fine that way.

What happens if it's not centered?

 

lol, well the EASIEST way to get the bearing on, and get it on flush is by having it in the center of the punch, but you can go side to side if you want to try it, lol
