To replace the bearings proceed as follows: heat the crankcase half in an oven to 100 ВєC; remove the bearing using a drift and hammer; install the new bearing (while the crankcase is still hot) keeping it perfectly square in its seat using a tubular drift that only bears on the outer ring of the bearing; allow the parts to cool and check that the bearing is securely fastened to the crankcase half.
