marki Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi All. What is the best way to get the release bearing onto the carrier, I'm guessing in a vice. Any advice would be welcome, cheers Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well, the best way is probably a press, but if you are careful to keep the parts square and supported, a vice of suitable size would work. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Mark, what ever you use make sure it is clean, the parts are square to the applied force and the force is constant/uniform. I would not go for bashing with a hammer etc. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Mark, bung the carrier in the freezer overnight, and gently warm up the bearing just before you bring them together with vice/press or whatever. Cheers rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Like the idea of the freezer and warming, got a feeling I did that many moons ago with a flywheel and ring gear. Thanks for the replies, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Mark, that is good engineering practice but I have never it found necessary. if you do warm the bearing be careful it does not get too warm. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
