poorboy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Throw the carrier and bearings in the freezer for a couple hours and tap them on. I do this all the time with different stuff that has a press fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmbishop Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Throw the carrier and bearings in the freezer for a couple hours and tap them on. I do this all the time with different stuff that has a press fit. using temp is good for up to a .008 interference for most metals - carrier bearings are .004 so maybe... Works best to chill the inside part and heat the outside part. that's how a wrist pin press works - heat the eye (rod end) and push the cold pin in like butter. When doing this just remember - DO NOT STOP, GO THE ENTIRE WAY IN ONE PUSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cylfordz Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 freezer and a torch two must have tools in every machine shop... and you just thought the fridge was for beers and cokes didn't ya. though I do not recommend heating a caged bearing, if you choose to use the oven in the house instead.

We had a hydrogen vat and an industrial oven. Made life simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
