Wow . just going to recommend the same book. I was only looking at it yesterday. Covers everything from Cruck truss construction to Cressing Temple Barns

sorry .just seen yr post the bearing is indeed a press fit into plastic and the new one went in with finger pressure . Dont know why the old one was so impossible and believe me i really gave the puller some wallop. I spoke to an ex aircraft mate of mine who immediately said 'dremmel' so thats...
