I'm currently fitting new bearings to my font diff. The right hand side is not being very co-operative, and is proving to be a pain in the  . Now I searched and found an old - but great! post by Nodge68. Within said post, it's mentioned about putting the bearing in the oven @130°c to help fitting, but is does not say how long far? Does anyone know how long to cook it for?
Cheers
Dan

If your fitting the bearing into a housing as I think you are the last thing you want to do is heat it up. If it’s tight and doesn’t want to fit try putting the bearing in the freezer overnight and then heating the housing it’s going into. Expand the housing contract the bearing.  Jarrod

The bearing is going onto a shaft not into a housing, otherwise I'd have probably gone with what that. Cheers

Small amount of heat wont hurt, we used to have a small oven rat work just for this job.

Yeah they are the correct 1's, I found part no's on here and double checked on the bearings that I removed. I've almost had it on, was about 1-2mm off and it just would'nt go, it was a right to remove and so I half expected trouble to be honest.
