I would assume "it" is the bearing kit.

I used to have a Demo 8 and when it came to replacing the bearings I used the handle end of a socket wrench and small hammer to tap them out (start at 12 o'clock and do 6, 3, 9 etc so they fall out evenly) and then used a big nut + some bolts and washers to press them back in, along with some green Loctite. I used the same technique with my old SX Trail, and will no doubt do it again when it comes to replacing the bearings on my Nukeproof.

Just Google "DIY bearing press" and you'll get loads of ideas. Infact, this link might be handy...

I gave up assuming anything years ago.

and if it is the bearings then why not use "them"?

What can I say, I still hold a little faith in my ability to tell what people are talking about, bad grammar or not
