Question Who in Nor-Cal can press rotor and stationary gear bearings?

if you have a competent machine shop nearby they should be able to do it. it's not as specialty of a job as you may be led to believe.

Oh really? they obviously have to line up the notches though and just press in the new ones? they don't need a special diameter die for the press?

if you want to do some of the legwork you can use a 90* angle and a razor blade to run some marks along the outside edge of the bearing for alignment marks. a die press should be used but isn't absolutely necessary so long as they press it in flat and use some grease/oil to make sure it doesn't bind during pressing.

The tang on the bearing needs to land in the notch on the rotor.

If you plan to pass through Vallejo, let me know. I've got a bearing press tool you can borrow.

Thanks Ben!

I appreciate it Howru, I'm trying to limit my driving if possible.
