Front wheel bearing

Cody sez:

then heating the strut/spindal with an oxy. acetaline (sp?) torch and puting
the bearing in by genty tapping with a brass hammer,

Makes sense.

> then freezing the hub and CAREFULLY AND LIGHTLY
torching the bearing and using the same light tapping with a brass hammer.

Why this?  Isn't your bearing in already?
I'd avoid torching anything that has lubricant inside and plastic/rubber
bits.
