Default Changing to chrome inner primary

OK, so I watched the videos, I work with tools for 22 years, I LOVE working on bikes, no matter how HARD, I'm confident on this task, I plan on putting in the baker compensator while in there, and the M6 primary chain adjuster, my question is, I have a 2008 rocker c, 3k miles, but that bearing, on opposite side of tensioner of inner primary, I see you have to pry out oil seal, well I'm getting all new so I will be installing

, ok heres the only question, to install that bearing, hand fitted? need a tool? also does anyone know the Timken replacement, I feel in love with the quality of there bearings, and Harley's, not so much, re- did all my wheel hubs to double row bearings, and what a difference, between the two....any other pointers, obviously all new seal, o-rings, getting the Cometic primary kit, also those 5 harley bolts that hole inner primary to engine, as the red rubber looked sandwiched in videos I saw, don't want any leaks here

....Upgrading started with the Baker, I did a Hillside 107" build, and the clunking driving me nuts, besides I read on the spring problems w/harley compensator, so I figured, why not get the baker, hell do it right? winter deal.....


and with what I listed is it worth the 1300k$$ to do, I have just over 3k miles...I am going to do M6 tho, no matter what....

Inner primary bearing is a press fit. I use silicone on the primary bolts. The inner primary bearing is an odd size haven't been able to find a Timken replacement let us know if you do.
