Why do you say that you cannot use a punch and hammer? (not trying to be argumentative. I would like to know the theory behind the thought)

I always did and never had a problem

Same here. Thats why I ask. I use a small punch, and iirc 10oz hammer. I dont miss, and have never had any problems with any of my bearings/triggers.

If the inner race of the bearing catches on the pin. The blunt force will, blow the barring out. I blew one out doing doing the same thing. You can buy a little table vice...

...and use it to press the trigger pin in. I have that same one and it works like a champ

It comes with rubber feet too. I use that little thing for just about everything.

The reason it blows it out is more than likely that it is not centered. If you press a bearing that is not centered it will do the same thing.

This is true but most people lack sufficient centering AND aiming skills to get it done properly. The chances of getting it wrong in a vice are the same as if you hammer it in I suppose. It's a double edged sword really. I have had better luck with a vice because of the force it generates as opposed to a hammer and I am a remodeling contractor by trade

Haven't put the pin back in on the Emag yet, but used a nail set on my others before. The end is cupped inward and helps keep the nail set on the pin.

Perfect, just take it slow and you'll be fine.

The bearing and pin are a press fit. That means the pin will not just slide right into the bearing. You NEED to press it in. But feel free to use the method described by the experts above...I have plenty of bearings.

Tuna, I tried asking you before and you didnt answer. We get it - you press it in. But how do you get the pin out?

[Tunaman]

You can knock it out with a punch if it is a standard trigger with no bearing...but I still recommend pressing it out.

Maybe I have the wrong pin then, because the one on mine slips right through the bearing. Exepting the knurled part that catches on the frame of course.
