    They’re the ones. I use a big bolt, some washers and a big socket to fit them. So, big socket on outside of swingarm (bit of tape on there to protect), big washer to stop bolt pulling into socket, press bearing in by hand as square as possible as far as you can, then washer just smaller than bearing o/d – about 26mm – then the nut and carefully tighten. Did that make sense?

    A big G-clamp may do it too with care.

    are SKF bearings worth £7 each more?

    SKF are standard C/dale fitment, strange that the PDF manual for the Gemini lists the size and manufacturer, but there’s no reference to the bearings in the Prophet one other than the C/dale part no.

    SKF are premium quality bearings I believe.
