Back before i got the grp tool set i used a socket with a 3 inch extension to tap the rear bearing in. Make sure the socket is the same outter diamater as the outter race on the bearing. I have even put the bearing on the cranshaft and install the crankshaft like you normally would and when the bearing starts into its hole put a wooden dowl on the crank and peck on the dowel until the bearing fully seats. It will be alot less stress on the bearing though if you use the socket. It shouldn't take alot of effort to get it back in there ones it starts. It will be pretty snug as it's inserting into the crankcase. Just make sure it bottoms out before installing the crank. IMPORTANT::: make sure the balls are facing the rear of the engine and not the rubber seal part. The bearing probably wont get any lube and will almost definately fail if installed backwards. Hope this helps.
