I took mine to a local small mechanic.. He had it done pretty quick for 40 odd clams.. Prob only took him a minute to do, but he did get it done quick without having to book it in or anything :)

The bearing "can" be bashed on with some thick walled pipe, its the locking collar that goes behind it that as I understand it needs a little heat from a oxy / lpg plant / oven?? to chuck on behind it.


Yes I have done some and used a press for the bearing (I havn't measured but must be a size for size or vfkn close) and the collar "must" be .01 under - have heated them up and "chucked" them on...

In this thread they've popped the axle in the freezer for a cpl days and lightly oven baked the bearings to put them on.. That's a cheap way!! Can't testify how effective it is, I haven't tried it :)

if at work , i will heat a block of steel with the oxy, sit shrink ring on this for a while, then fit.........with a bit of pipe (quicker and easier than using the press).

If at home, bit of flat bar on the stove top, and put shrink ring on that, just takes a bit longer to heat....then do the same.

Grind them off, press them on

Never had to heat/cool

99% of the time this is right.

Had a problem with a mates 70's Celica yrs ago, supplied shrink rings moving......fitted cold and hot. Ended up taking a light cut on the axle and making 4140 rings with something like .006" interferance. Heat shrunk on......they didn't move.

Tho very rare, and never seen it with a wheel brg, i have seen a bearing crack the inner race from cold fitting to a pump shaft. It was not seen on assembly and lasted maybe 5hrs before it, and the the pump destroyed itself......Sumitomo 7T excavator, big $$$$ repair bill.

Had a hell of a time pressing mine on. Didn't help that the backing plate made it difficult to support it.
