You could care less how you remove the old bearings.

The bearing puller shown is basic, but it also is all that is
needed to remove the old bearings.

Attempting to use the tool (bearing puller) to install the
new bearings is pure folly.

You will probably get the new bearings installed, but you are
almost guaranteed to brinnel the new bearings in the process
thus rendering them useless.

Has nothing to do with "brinelling" as applied to ball bearings.

SFWIW, "brinelling" is a term unique to the ball bearing industry.

Perhaps if you had researched this as much as I have you would
realize just how
silly your reply is. No idea how old your are but perhaps with a few
more orbits
around the sun you'll come to the realization that there's ALWAYS
more than one
way to skin a cat, (or push on a bearing).

I got paid real money to design ball bearing systems back in the days
when I worked in the engineering department or a rotating equipment
manufacturer.

What part of ball bearing design and application would you like to
discuss?

As far as age is concerned, I was here before the first A-bomb was
dropped.

What is your excuse?
