I just got a new set of timken A-7 bearings, to put on stock axles, for the 8 3/4 that's going in my challenger... and was wondering if warming them up to 200 degrees in the oven would make pressing them on any easier. I have a 12 ton harbor freight-style press for the job. When I did the set on the belvedere several (10?) years ago, I seem to remember there being some grunt required to push those bearings on. I don't recall, however, the size, quality or condition of the press I used...which could have been part of the issue. Timkens website says not to exceed 300 degrees on cones, so I thought I'd stay well on the safe side. Opinions?

In order to know what you want, you'll probably have to find out what you don't want.
