Got my reman cam and a new front cam bearing (same part number as the spun one). It slides smoothly onto the front bearing surface of the cam. The shop manual just tells me to drive it in with the special IH tool which of course I don't have. I put the cam in the engine, slid the bearing over the cam (right way around, with the holes lined up), and set about to drive the bearing in with a wooden block and a mallet. Got it started and found that the camshaft wouldn't turn and that the amount of force that appeared to be needed to drive the bearing further seemed excessive. I don't want to crumple the bearing or end up with the cam siezed in the engine. How should I proceed?
