Fitting a spigot bearing

[lloydy]

How far do you knock it in? Until it bottoms out, or when it's just 'in'?

push it in until it seats in to the flywheel.

Hi Neil, don't get what you mean. By flywheel, do you mean the end of the crank? Does it push in just enough so the whole bearing is in, or until it can't go any further?

[axeman]

sorry going mad ment the crank, it should sit in flush with the end of the crank, you should need a drift to tap it in as it will be an interference fit.

Ok, cheers for that

Bearing in the freezer for a couple of days helps, seal edge (usually with the writing on) towards the gearbox

Fitted in nicely cheers again for tip on what way around
