Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both techniques are acceptable for installing a bearing. A soft-face hammer can be used to gently tap the bearing into place without damaging it, while a ball-peen hammer with a brass drift can also be used to apply force more precisely and avoid direct metal-to-metal contact that could damage the bearing.
