    Received my new GB prefix Koyo needle bearings today to replace my
    old Torrington bearings with the X suffix as suggested.
    The new bearings fit on the shafts okay, but I’m able to slide them
    in the bores by hand. Presume I should have had to "tap" them in?
    The old ones sure had to be tapped out. I put some locktite on the
    bearing shells and installed them for lack of a better idea.
    Will this work?
