Thanks for all that handy information.

I am proceeding with first bearing press, but have to complete my tool (I have no access to the real thing)

I call it a "Pull-Press" since it uses the bearing puller to instead pull it back on. (breaker bar ratchet for leverage, and extended 5/16 threaded rod inside aluminum tubing to prevent flexing). 2 x 4 members, and 1/8 aluminum plate sandwiches make it very rigid.

I have the Harbor Freight puller kit, and am adapting the tuning fork portion with long screw to create a press using some plumbing stuff and washers so it's a) uniform and b) pressing only on the race.

I will heat up the bearing (no more than 200 F), and cool down the shaft some before pulling. I think it should then do the trick. Essentially, it just pulls the whole frame forwards as it tightens, which pushes the tube against the bearing, pressing it on. Pull-press. Since it's screw based, hitting the right spot and tolerance should be easier, just turn a teensy bit more once close.
