Installing main bearings in a Vespa engine

I haven't seen anybody use this method yet. I am too impatient to put things in the freezer overnight and don't like feeling like I'm in a race against time to keep the bearing cold. This method obviously works quickly and easily if you're careful. Playing with a torch and liquid CO2 is obviously dangerous. Both can cause you quite a bit of pain if you're clumsy.

Great tip on freezing those damn bearings. I had mine in my freezer for hours and could never get it cold enough to get in my cr125 case. I just happended to have two cans of air in my garage and this froze them in seconds. NICE JOB!

I'm the the old pros think I'm crazy, but that stuff gets things so much colder than the freezer.

Thanks for learning us. If I'd have known your method, I might have tried it. Everyone else told me to put the bearings in the freezer and my cases in the oven. I wasn't too keen on doing either. I definitely know an asshole from an elbow, and you certainly don't sound like an elbow.

bro this is great! you should film every section of an engine build, the shops never show you how they actually approach this work..

Nice method... do you think it would work to pull out a bearing without damaging it?

AWESOME METHOD .... i actually use this to remove and install my ball joints and replace my front bearings on my 1994 Honda accord... simple high school science.... thanks for the VID

Is a blow torch not dangerous when dealing with something that could potentially have oil on?

i remember when you had to drop gudgeon pins in liquid nitrogen to shrink fit into pistons.

good video, don't know why people knock you or others that put videos up helping others 10/10

If it went in that easy why not just press it in and not chance ruing the seal

This is a great way i have read a couple of people giving you negative feedback however i have rebuilt a few engines but there always a little poo so this method is great, i appreciated the time you have taken to show us inexperienced engine rebuilders :) i will be trying in today!! thanks pal.
