3. Using either a mallet (or copper hammer) or a press,

install the needle roller bearing into the yoke so that
the snap ring can be installed in its groove.

CAUTION: The  needle roller bearing cannot be
installed smoothly if it is set at an incorrect angle
with the flange and excessive hammering will
damage the needle roller bearing.
