<VV> FAN BEARINGS

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i always heat the housing enough for the old bearing to drop out , then  
quickly put the new one in. it usually goes almost home with very little force.  
you can tell home by the mark in the housing left by the old one. 
i have had now troubles doing it this way on a lot of housings. the only  one 
that bit me recently had been done elsewhere probably cold. a small chunk of  
the neck broke off , but the main support area seems ok.(probably ok to  use) 
 if i need any force at all to install it , i have a block fixture i  made to 
set the housing on that supports the middle area   . simple to  build , and 
it has probably saved a few housings over the years.
regards, tim colson
