You can do it yourself but you have to press in the front bearing. You will need the bearing prop driver and collet

Gentlemen-it appears I owe you an apology for taking so much of your valuable time regarding what I thought was an HB .61 WITHOUT the front bearing;aka drone engines.Imagine my surprise,when I lifted a corner of the rubber seal to find a ball bearing underneath!In my defense I have no experience with HB engines,and further,I personelly have never seen a front bearing protected with a rubber seal.Cudos to the manufacturer of HB engines!!All the reviews that I have read are extremely positive.Any,thank you so much for your time
