Default Small end bearings B18A

....while I'm bothering everyone....

Old pistons removed from conrods, the small end bearing popped out of #1 rod, but the others seem stuck fast. None of my sockets fit to use as a press (the bearings are pretty thin) Am preparing to tap them through with a screwdriver and small mallet and insert new ones.

However, looking at YouTube, it doesn't seem as easy as that, with talk of reaming and chamfering the edges of the rod before inserting bearings.

Can't see that this has been discussed on the forum before now...
