Re: Mode A Piston expander/ knurling tool to Buy
You will probably get an earful from people telling you how knurling is a bad, outdated, waste of time, why don't you do it the right way, etc. but it does work for a while. I have one of those...

Re: Bearing ID
Maybe a useful part number on bearing itself? Would require opening but you would have a visual ID plus possibly a usable part number as well. Just a thought. :)
