Ok, put the 7109 bearing i got from BOP in today, had it in the freezer overnite, when it pretty easy, i have it in the crank all the way, but noticed i can pull the bearing in and out about 1 or 2 mm with my finger., when i pull it out some, its seems tight but a little loose when i push it back in.

Rented the tool to remove but the arms dont fit in the bearing, ending up just using a pick pulling a little at a time on all four side and it came out, im assuming this should be in a little tighter.

Did a search, some say to stake it in, are we talking about putting dimples in the side of the crankshaft to hold this in place, paid a pretty penny for this forged crank, dont think i want to be hammering on that thing.

Any help would be great.
