Install The Bearings On The Shaft

This task is perhaps the most difficult of the entire process. The bearings need to be pressed onto the shaft and it's a very tight fit.


I used an old trick I taught to me years ago for doing just this sort of thing. I simply heated the bearings, in the toaster over (my wife doesn't know I cook bearings..), to 200F. At the same time I had the shaft in the freezer.
