<div dir="ltr">Hi Alan,<div><br></div><div>This sounds a lot like replacing the front wheel bearings in my son's race kart. It's a press fit into aluminum. Just make yourself a little cylinder of solid aluminum or plastic that is a hair smaller OD than the bearing, sit the bearing down over the hole its going into, hold your custom made aluminum or plastic rod onto the bearing, and tap with a mallet. Your custom rod allows you to put the mallet force onto the outside edge of the bearing. What you don't want to do is drive the bearing from the inside run and have the resistance act on the outside run.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Alec</div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 9:43 AM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Hank,</div><div id="m_-1617995668713175426AppleMailSignature">not sure what you are meaning.</div><div id="m_-1617995668713175426AppleMailSignature">The piece ( front section of thruster) is held in the jaws.</div><div id="m_-1617995668713175426AppleMailSignature">I can hand hold the bearing in place & wind in the tail stock until the tool</div><div id="m_-1617995668713175426AppleMailSignature">in the tailstock engages the bearing.
