Have you tried using a 32mm socket on backwards on a extension and hammering it in that way?

+1^^^ I have had luck with this. I saw on another thread where someone used a driver with a cam. I dont see how that wouldnt work.

ive tried it with the cam and the bearing driver but it mushroomed i get more bearings on wed so il try the socket one

It sounds crazy, but get a can of the wart remover spray and freeze the bearing with it , (It is like -70 degrees) They will slide in real easy this way. Your finger will likely freeze to the bearing so i would use gloves if possible.

PLUS: you can freeze off those pesky genital warts after you get your front case on! Double win!!!

Seriously bryan, thats an awesome idea. My daughter, when she was younger, got a small wart on her thumb or big toe or something. Man, that stuff is like liquid nitrogen. Its dangerous shit. Would work great for freezing something rapidly if you dont have time and a deep freeze

Yes, i have used it with balance shaft and cam bearings on v8 blocks. You can use air duster turned upside down also, but it doesn't get as cold. What i would do is find a plastic bowl and put the bearing in it. I would do it in a somewhat well ventilated area. Than take the little foam piece off the end of the stick and spray the bearing until it is nice and frosty. Than with some nice clean gloves drive it in. It should go in a lot easier. Than when it thaws out and expands it will be stuck in place.

Thats why you are designated a WISEMAN, cool (hahaha) idea. Works on electronic components that are suspicious also. Cool the electronics and see what heats up the fastest so you have an idea on the problem area's. A++ Freez-It is another type of chiller, its what I use on electronics.

So I went with the frezzing method I used dry eye to get it cold as I could . And it kinda worked at went in somewhat easier I used a 32mm socket to hit it in but I still got some light mushrooming on the bearing so I went around the edge with sandpaper one or two times and the shaft went in fine without scouring the balance shaft, so I think I'm good thanks for the help
