here's a tip for the DIY'er on this... after the bearing is in... STOP and put every possible other thing on there are a couple of flanges and brakes/etc.

I didn't do this and toasted a new bearing.

BTW - the bearing went in just as nice as pie.... heated the arm with a shop light and then heated with map gas. The bearing was in the freezer and I hose clamped the old bearing with one inner race to the new bearing as a pusher... the bearing slid in about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way and then I pulled it in with my home made puller. Worked great. I was feeling so proud of myself until I saw that I couldn't get the other parts on over the hub.

So right now I don't feel too much like working on Visio to do the steps for disassembly and assembly.
