How do you put the bearing in the back axel?
I just wanted to know what do you use to pound the bearing into the back axel. Should I use a hammer, my bearing shop told me not to use anything made of metal but I am not sure what to use.

I typically find a socket that is about the same diameter and the tap on it with a hammer.

Borrow one. If you hit the center race of the bearing you will chip or damage the ball and ruin the bearing, trust an old R/C helicopter guy on this one, been through many bearings.
You can also heat the axle with a torch, It should expand and allow the bearing to be dropped in. |

You could use a block of wood or the handle of a hammer too. Just tap around the sides evenly until it is seated.

Can you provide a picture of the threaded rod either with a stock picture or a picture of your own. Sorry, but I just do not know what you are talking about.

It's just a long threaded rod, you should be able to get some at a hardware store..

Any pressure on the inner race and you scrap the bearing. Get a socket, safest way. You can also us a block of wood if it does not put pressure on the center race.

Thank you guys. I will try doing it with the end of a hammer which id made of wood. I will report back. This forum is very helpful. Also I will be writing a review of the giovanni 110cc after it is fixed.

Ok, I put the bearing in the easily by just using a little wd40 and just using the end of the hammer. The problem was that giovanni sent me the wrong axel which I found out the hard way. Anyways. I've sent them an email.
