I've bought new taper bearings for the 750ss

However the bottom one doesn't slide down the main shaft

It starts to go on and then gets stuck

I assume it's supposed to be drifted on?

Happy new year

I found the same when changing mine on my 600 monster the other day. I used and oversize piece of tubing on the inner race to knock it down worked.:)

Thanks buddy, I assumed that would be what needed to be done

Just didn't want to do it and then get told something different:(
