Bearing race chipped on install (was: Wheel bearing circlips?)

[Ben Swann]

Based on your experience thus far, do you recommend the H.F. press.  I have been toying with the Harbor Freight offering(s) for some time now.

I've watched the wheel bearing discussion with some.. Interest.. As I've
just pushed old ones out and 2 new ones in (After damaging a 3rd) on my
early build type89 Q.

I bought the 12T H-frame press from harbor freight for $99, and had a
machine shop cut me a 2 and 15/16s dia steel disc 1/2 thick (they had 2 &
15/16s rod stock lying around, if you can believe that :). This works great
for the 75mm type 89 bearings.
