The heating method is OK if you have acess to an induction heater. I would not recommend the use of torches to do this job as you can overheat the bearings in spots and bugger the temper.

Pressing is fine. The bearings were packed on the axle in the method I described above: glob grease around the axle on the diff side of the bearing, wrap the glob with electric tape so you form a come from the axle to the bearing, and squeeze the tape to force the grease through the bearing. Then slide the tape cone off the axle.

I am still camping in the tent here in Kandahar, so no illustration of this method. Perhaps if someone has the Cdn 3 supplement to the Cdn2 maintenance manual, they can scan and post the photo of what I am talking about.

Thanks Rob, got it. I have the sup that illustrates the method.
I was more curious as to the bearing install. Got it too.
