I did one of these last week on a sherco..

I put the yoke in the feezer overnight to get it really cold.

Then just before fitting i droped the bearing in boilling hot water for a couple of minutes.

The bearing fell into place easy..

Blew all the water off with a air line and regreesed with water proof greese.

Al went well for me..Hope it works for you two..

puting it on with a metal pipe(exhaust pipe etc).if you dont have anything try a fast fit garage , go with a hacksaw and cut of an old piece of exhaust the same size as the bearing.

both of above...ensure bare metal where the bearing sits or it wont work. If it wasnt masked before painting, get yer4 wet and dry out...I use a dremel

Cheers guys, got it on in the end. it was very very tight, i used a bit of pipe and with a good bit of persuasion from my yorkshire spanner it seated nicely.

Glad you got it on ,but for next time consider putting bearing in the oven at 180 c and it should just drop on.

That would involve me having to ask how the oven works, if i knew how the oven worked i may be forced to cook something..

dont put the bearing naked in the boiling water pop it in a freezer bag and it ll have to be in more than a couple of minutes with the water boiling all the time
