When at home, in the workshop or in the garage, it is necessary to press the bearing into the seat socket, most often the craftsmen pick up a heavy sledgehammer, put the bearing on the socket and hammer it forcefully.
The method, of course, is old, but rather risky. Because with this approach, the final result will be very difficult to predict: the bearing can simply stand crooked or flatten. Or maybe the clip will burst.
For the safe mounting of bearings, a very simple homemade hammer drill attachment is useful. You can make it from a small piece of wooden round timber. You will also need a steel washer for the diameter of the workpiece itself and an adapter for a perforator under the drill chuck.
The main stages of work
First we put on a steel washer on the adapter for the puncher, and then we wind the wooden "roller". First you need to drill a through hole in it. We fix the workpiece with the screw that comes with the kit.
Then we install a homemade nozzle in a perforator, and set the impact mode (without drilling). Now it is possible to press the bearing into the landing "nest" without any problems, without fear of damaging it somehow. If you wish, you can even glue a piece of thick skin on the tip of the nozzle - to soften shock vibration.
You can watch the step-by-step process of manufacturing a nozzle on a rotary hammer for pressing bearings in a video on our website. Write in the comments, did you like this homemade product?
