Bearing Installation

When installing a bearing on a shaft with a tight fit, I put the bearing in an old toaster oven and heat it up thus expanding it a very little making it easy to slide on.  I also keep old bearing races and cut  completely thru them.  Thus I can use it to drive on or press on a new bearing and it will easily tap off with a hammer.
