Best way to get inner bearingis into beam?
#1
What is the best way to get the inner smaller bearings into a beam without making sh1t of them?

Is the 35mm socket and hammer way a bit risky?[/b]

Aslong as your pressing against the outside of the bearing you should be fine. Any pressure on the inside of the bearing is when damage gets caused. Bit of lube to help it slide in will help.

Ive never done it so im not speaking from experience.

you need something that is a slide fit in the beam tube, as large as possible a diameter, a 35mm socket isn't ideal as it has a chamfer which will fold over the edge of the bearing.

the ideal tool is the Citroen original toolkit Wink


no need for lube around them, but you do need to pack the bearing thoroughly before installing them.

If you've nothing proper to do the job, an old trailing arm shaft (thicker end) works well

Our instructions got lost too probably back along when the old beys used to repair 205/309 axles.
We've worked out what does what though

I've heard of people tapping a grease nipple into the beam on the 205gtidrivers forum with varying success. I would just make sure they are well lubricated before they go in and you should be fine.

just grease them well when fitting, then fit new bearings a few years down the line.

grease nipples dont work.
