I know I have done this before but i seem to never get it the first 5 times.

Does any one know how long and on what temp I need to bake the case half at to get the bearing to sweat all the in. I tried 250 fail i tried all the way up to 375 and no luck Help Please.... I dont have map gas so I have to do it in the oven.
 
220-250 is hot enough, you also need to put the bearings in the freezer for around 30 minutes to slightly shrink them so they will go in easier.and Make sure to not hit on the inner race of the bearings, it will damage them. Hope this helps.
