Default Re: Mercury Down

The reason for a new spacer is that most people find it easiest to cut that, and the bearing to get them off. A nice big bearing splitter and a press is the proper method, but a good slice with the wizz wheel and a big whack from a cold chisel and they fall off.

The new bearing and spacer can be driven on gently with an air chisel. Be careful not to slip off and hit the seal face on the bearing like some people do...Who, Me?
