Hi everyone.
I'm currently rebuilding my rear axle and was checking the pinion bearing fit.
The lower one needs to be pressed in, that was clear to me, but what about the upper one?
When I handfit the bearing, it doesn't slide down on the seat.
It seems that it'll have to be pressed in too.
Not sure how much pressure this will require.
My question now is, is it supposed to be that way?
I had the impression the the upper bearing is a slip fit on the pinion shaft.
My parts are all from FRP.
Thanks for your help.
