Rotor Bearing Installation
 
I pressed in the rotor bearing and its a little off with the tooth. I was wondering if it has to be totally in the spot or if the way I have it is fine. It went in so tight I dont see it ever moving in there. What do you guys recommend? Here is a picture of what im talking about.

Well - it's not perfect, but I'd leave it rather than risk damaging the bearing to move it.

It should be fine.

A trik to get good aline ment , use a squair (rite spelling?) and mark a line down the side for a guide

Exactly, also chill the bearing to 32-35 degrees F. while keeping the rotor at room temp or above. They slide right in to the correct alignment following these easy tips.

DryIce is available at some SuperMarkets like Albertsons. Pack the bearing in that prior to the install.

or just put it in a dry freezer (and wipe off any possible mosture when you take it out), and bake the rotor in an oven.

With the bearing chilled cold and the rotor hot how easy does it slide in?
