Installing Bearing Buddies like # BB1781 is fairly straight forward. I have included a link to a video and if you fast forward to about the 5:20 minute mark, our installer puts one on. He lines it up first and gives it a tap to get started. Then he places a block of wood over the end of the Bearing Buddy. The block of wood disperses the force of the hammer used to tap it into place.

To remove a Bearing Buddy I would use a rubber mallet and gently tap it on the sides to unseat it.
