I will probably get shot for this :2gunsfiring_v1:
I got some cranks with a frame and the bearings were rough, so thought no worries looked on the side of the old bearings for the number 6004, ordered 2 new bearings from ebay £3 delivered. found to be too tight on the spindle, so tried a bearing shop to see if it was my cheap bearings, but same with there's. This was on the saturday before the CIN ride. So here comes my bodge of the year, fitted a bolt into the end of the spindle, clamped it in my drill and set to work with a fine file on the spindle, kept trying bearings, once it got close swapped to wet and dry paper until spindle shiny and bearings just needing a slight tap with a hammer. Fitted  together with anti-seize compound.
JOB DONE.
