Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
If the bearing doesn't have a tight fit on the axleshaft, what's keeping the axleshaft in? The retainer puts force on the bearing to keep it in.

i dunno. it might not be as pretty as a press but i bet it could be done.
correct me if i'm wrong (and i honestly might be, i'm not too familiar with my new rear axle yet) but the bearing presses on the axle shaft and the conical bearing sits in a race on the inside of the tube and a bearing retainer bolts on to hold the 2 together. i guess it is the press fit holding everything in... i dunno. about the tightest press fit you can have and still have a re-useable surface is .0015. i've worked with stuff that tight before and yeah it's tight but it can totally be done with a hammer.
