Hello all,

Trying to install my drive shaft into the new bearing but am having issues. I don't have the proper tool. I heard some people stack washers and pull it into the bearing but…..

How the fuck do you keep it from spinning while tightening?

Thanks!

Do you have access to a press?
That's how I put mine in.


Or you could shock it home with a soft mallet - not ideal but doable in a pinch

Thanks guys, I ended up getting it by using a large socket that rested on the shaft. Couple good smacks and it went right in.
