    Hi guys, I'm currently working on a ZIP AC, putting in new crankbearings. I've been heating the case to around 50c and using freeze spray on the bearing before placing them in. However I'm not to sure if its in far enough?

    As your tapping the bearing in, you will hear the note change as it hits the bottom of the casing, it should appear flush from the other side.
    Look here, and skip to where you need to go, around 12m 20s is when I start putting the bearing in
