Once the old bearings are removed, thoroughly clean the bearing bores in the pivot yoke with
isopropyl alcohol. As with removal, there are a few different techniques that can be used to install the
bearings. We recommend using an arbor press, but a bench vise, or even a piece of threaded rod with
nuts and washers on either end will do the job. If using a press or a vise, It is
absolutely necessary
to
support the yoke between the bearing hoops with a spacer. This can be another plastic tube, block of
wood, or any non
-
marring solid piece that will support the hoops and keep them from bending as the
bearings are pressed in. Press the bearings until they are flush with the outer surface of the yoke,
taking care not to mar the finish of the yoke or frame.
IMPORTANT: NEVER INSTALL BEARINGS USING A HAMMER OR ANY OTHER MEANS OF IMPACT!
