I use the mainshaft outer bearing inner race to install the ISB seal....

the wide side to drive it flush, then flip it over to seat it fully. I don't believe you can drive it in too far, but you can damage it by hitting the seal with the input shaft as you drop the gear cluster into place

ok so a rubber mallet and drive it in there well see i was told to keep it flush with the outter part and i drove it in there a lil too far like you can grab the lip of it with your finger

installed to normal depth, there is no lip.

Where did I mention a rubber hammer?????

Harbor freight has a steel driving kit you can buy for very little. I recommend this if you're having a hard time with seals regularly

the washers bend.......

5/8" thick inner bearing race doesn't

i mean how do i put it in then if not with a rubber mallet i mean i know i dont need to use a damn hammer ha

I use a 3 lb soft steel hammer and the inner bearing race......

My tool kit......the bearing race is above the left 2x4 scrap.....

My "lil Thor" didn't make it into the pic. It is stamped 1959 and was used on tool dies. Gotta have a pic of it hiding somewhere......there it is, sleeping with the ruibber hammer.......
