oharris, do you have access to a bearing press or did you find another way to press them on? I found a nice kit on EBay that seems to have everything I need/, a new Input Shaft and Cluster Gear and a complete Bearing Kit w/ Synchro Rings. But since I don't have access to a press I was wondering if you put them on another way.

Thanks!

I didn't use a press, just a hammer and a brass drift. I just pounded them on with the drift on the inner race. I found out later you're not supposed to do that, but I haven't had any problems in the almost 50K miles since I did the rebuild.
