So when im putting together another broken saw and replacing the bearings, What is the best/ easiest way to tackle it
1. Press bearings inside the case halves then press shaft on one side then repeat on the other?
2 Install bearings on shaft then proceed to press the bearing in the case half?

ive seen people do it on Youtube the #2 way But i question if that is the easiest

Heat the case with a heat gun push or tap or press them in fast before heat transfers.

If you heat the case correctly the bearing will drop in . Let it sit for a few mins and the bearing will soak up the heat from the case . Then you can drop the crank into that side . Rinse and repeat and vwala all together

Thanks, Im assuming placing the crank and bearing in the freezer might help a bit.
