I carefully put glue on the flange, keeping the glue to a minimum and keeping the glue away from the bearing. The last thing you want to do to a beautiful brand new bearing is get glue in it. So I do the best I can centering the flange on the hole in the wheel and I clamp it down to dry. It won’t be perfect. It will be slightly off center, but that’s OK. We will fix that later.
And here is the other flange getting glued to the spacer so it will be ready for the other side of the wheel when we get to that point.
And here we see that no glue got in the bearing. Good. Also, these are some clamps I made to use when building my kayak. You take a PVC pipe, and cut one inch segments off of it. Then you cut a kerf into the offcut. You can pull it open, and it wants to spring closed. It has about as much force as a spring clamp, and when you need 30 spring clamps, it’s a lot cheaper to buy a pipe and make them than to go out and buy that many clamps. They are very handy.
