Cam bearing R&R

I’ve got a Snap-On cam bearing tool ! It works really well !! I’ve never messed up any cam bearings taking them in or out !! You can probably reuse them !! But anytime I have reinstalled a cam bearing the bearing itself just doesn’t feel like it as the same crush to it ( for lack of a better word ) . Cam bearing are cheap ! Why risk it !!


You are right about the bearings don't seem to have the same crush when reinstalled... Due to the press fit, every time you remove the bearing and then reinstall it, it looses some of its retention force...
