[QUOTE="RePhil, post: 500072, member: 14491"] These are very tight & actually measure 0.2 mm OD greater than the hole in the hub housing. I checked the original, destroyed, bearing I removed & it was the same size. I presume that the pressed metal outer race will compress slightly upon insertion to leave a tighter fit. I pulled the inner ball race in with a length of M12 studding & suitably sized socket. However the outer bearing just wants to go in pissed & won't stay square. Tapping with increasingly large hammers doesn't seem to be the right approach either. I have a press but don't really want to remove the whole trailing arm assy. Ideas anyone? Thanks, Phil. [/QUOTE]
