[QUOTE="tractorman414, post: 5461, member: 244"] any tips on engaging crankshaft rollers into outer races. I know I’ve done this a couple of times before, and don’t remember much of a problem. Talking to other member of the Dorset section we believe it has become more difficult after the bearing manufacturers changed from using nicely engineered brass cages to the pressed out steel ones, which don’t keep the rollers close to the inner track. Amongst the methods suggested include using cotton thread/elastic/copper wire to wind tight around the roller assembly, all these aids can be broken/extracted through to crankcase mouth, once the rollers have started to engage with the outer race any better ideas ?
