[FC] <VV> engine area noise

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i carefully use a propane or map gas torch on the bearing shaft area inside  
and outside the housing while supporting it  upside down in a vise to  remove 
and install the bearing. it will about drop out on its own when warm  enough 
(sometimes a light touch with a screw driver to break it loose) and  quickly 
push the new one in to the same depth as the old one was. i have done  this for 
many years , and only a few times have to push it in the last small  amount 
with a block of 2X4.  you can see the ridge in the housing hole from  the old 
one , and it will form a stop close enough to use.
clean the housing up good before changing the bearing.
