IIRC if you throw the bearings in the freezer for a while before installation you should gain some clearance.

Some have used liquid nitrogen on all metal applications and they drop right in! I wish freezing the urethane applications had more effect than it's had in my projects.

On my past projects, getting the old rubber pieces out was way more challenging than installing urethane upgrades. On the Z, did you have to use a press to get them in?

The last thing you want to do is to freeze poly with nitrogen. You'll crack the poly.
