reb78 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 As above. How do you press the bearing races into new swivel balls? Silly thing is, I've done the other side before, but I can't remember how and now I am having a mind blank about how to do it without damaging the ball or teflon coating if i slip!

V8 Freak Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Sir Les of Hensonshire taught me to use a soft bar across the bearing race and tap them in.... (Easier if the ball is already attached to the axle as it doesn't move) Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think I overthink sometimes. Chatting to Neil reminded me that I have a copper faced hammer. It just tapped in with that. As did the railko bush housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Soft bar and a calibrated Tap-o-meter Easier on the car, but I made up a little bracket to bolt it to in the vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
