Had to put them in a HD shop press, go as tight as I could press it, then walked out of the room, closed the door and waited. About a minute later you would hear it release, violently. Walk back in the room and collect all the peices scattered about. They always press back on easier though. So be careful!

Are they needed has anyone replaced bearing without covers. Other sites say no need to worry. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 | Shouldn't need one with a sealed bearing.
