I have finally got around to replacing the axle on my Biland.

I was surprised to find that the break and sproket carriers slipped on nice an easy.. But the bearings are very tight.

I have resorted to hammering them on using a large 'punch', but they only move a few mms each time.. Are there any tips for getting them on? Perhaps using lubricant, or I even considered that heating them might help.

Any ideas? Or do I just continue to bash the cr*p out of them.
