fitting bearings to a shaft advice

[marbles]

Put a shoulder on the end of the shaft if possible that is a slide fit on the bearing then press. This will keep the bearing square. Also use tallow if you have any.

Thanks for the advice. I'm a tad light on tallow, never had a calling for it, must be something else I could try as a sub. I'll try the freeze and shrink thing first and see how that works.
