IMPORTANT: Do not allow a metal stake to contact the outer face of the bearing in order to prevent distortion of the outer race.
Using care in order to prevent injury, strike the staking pin of the J 33019 . Properly position the stake pin in the guide after each impact on the pin.
Continue to strike the pin of the J 33019 until a stake, similar to the original stake, is formed down to, but not touching, the bearing.
Stake three places 120 degrees apart.
