Use a press don't be like me axle bearing removal

You can put your axle in the freezer, and warm up the retainer. As I understand the can slip on that way.

You could also make an assembler like the FSM shows.


Or just hand over 50.00 and a 6 pack of beer and have your local shop press them on.

I was considering leaving the axle outdoors but the freezer is a better idea. It's not that huge.
That and oxy acetylene the ring. Knocking the bearing on wasn't too bad.

Wonder if a big 2 or 3 jaw puller could install the ring? You can see I'm avoiding fabbing tools :)
