Today I will be assembling the rear uprights. I have made all the tooling to be able to do this, I measured all the pieces and using the drawings in the manual, I added these measurement and made the tools. There is a support for the upright, a tool to press the bearing into the upright and a tool to press the hub into the bearing and a tool to install the seals. If you do not support and press these bearings in properly you can damage (Brenel) the bearing.

attached is the picture of the insert in the rear caliper, it was a bad situation when the bolt broke off in the caliper I tried to drill it out and made it worse, fortunately this project was fixed by my dad on the mill, he had to make an oversize insert and put the proper centreline in the insert that is why the hole is offset in the insert!
