Replacing Rear Bearings

[james accordino]

ONLY press on the race being installed.  Press the
outer race ONLY when inserting into housing.  Notice
the capitals?  IF you press on any other part, you may
find yourself redoing this very soon.  Not trying to
be a primadonna, just want to save you from any
problems.  Also, carefully cleaning the rust from the
portion of the housing the bearing must pass to be
R+R'd will save you much unneccessary pushing.  And
make getting the snap rings out and in much easier.

Good luck
