It is so long since I replaced those I can?t recall how I did it, but I have
more recently installed interference fit bearings in a number of old motorbike
engine cases. I simply put the bearing in the freezer for an hour or two and
warm the cases, preferably in the oven, but you can do it gently with a propane
torch. The bearing (or outer race in your case) will drop right in. Get it
seated quickly though, as the temperatures equalize quickly. For some
applications I have also had a local machinist reduce the diameter of an old
bearing slightly to use to tap home tight bearings. I prefer the
heating/cooling as it takes any hammering out of the operation. Getting the
inside of the hub and the outside of the bearing scrupulously clean goes
without question.

Subject: [Healeys] Splined hub bearings
Is the a specific bearing seating set, size I can buy to seat the outer races
of the tapered bearings in the splined hub? Maybe a cheap alternative like
aluminum tubing. All parts are new and this will be the first time I assemble
spline hub assemblies.
