Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper shaft/bore preparation leading to brinelling.Ensure both the shaft and housing bore are free of debris, burrs, and surface imperfections before installation.
Uneven pressing force causing misalignment or damage.Utilize a bearing press or an appropriate jig to apply uniform pressure during installation, ensuring the bearing is seated evenly.
