Uh, where are you located?

 

north east ky

 

The AutoZone blind hole puller will work fine if they have the right size collet and it's free.

 

Have u used it. I just don't want to damage anything

Does it also work to install them

If not what do u use to install them

 

I would use the old cam to tap in the new bearings (part # side out). Bring your new bearings to autozone to check for a propper fit collet.

 

Ok I will check on that

 

Yes, I have used it; just need the right size collet. It is a puller and you cannot install the new bearings with a puller. There a separate tool for installation that will set the bearings at a specified depth in the bore. I have also used old cam to tap the bearings in. Freeze the bearings over night, coat the bearing cage and the bearing bore with assembly lube. Place the bearing on the cam journal and tap them in.

There is tool available from beattygw@sbcglobal.net for $85 that will pull and install the bearings. That's what I use now.

 

this is one of the posts i posted in that has pics of the blind hole bearing puller and the bearing pusher I made instead of buying the 400 buck harley one.
