This is quite a simple job. Take the bearing housing and observe both sides of it. You will notice one side of the bearing is revealed by the housing more than the other. This is the side that should face downwards when fitted.
The upper tail bearing block
Slot the bearing into position on top of the shaft and push it down. When it is on as far as it can go, it will be nicely lined up to allow the bolts that fix it to the heli body to slide straight through the side frames and bearing housing and be tightened to the heli with nyloc nuts.

Notes
After market upgrade manufacturers, such as Quick UK, make a metal bearing block for this area of the Sceadu. If you are fitting one of these, the fitting holes are threaded such that four bolts should be used, one into each mounting hole, two from each side of the heli, to hold the bearing housing in place. No nyloc nuts are used.
