Re: Toughbox Assembly

Warming the bearing a little, even by just holding it in your hands for a while can help. Just make sure someone hasn't been holding the shaft too. A friend of mine used to rebuild electric motors, big ones, and when it was time to put the bearings on he would grab them out of a hot plate and drop them on. without heat they went on tough with a hammer.
