I've always put mine in with the bearing towards the transmission. It is a swine to get out again without destroying the bearing. One way is to put a nut into the crank recess first, perhaps held in place with some epoxy cement, and then fit the bearing and housing. When you need to remove it you can screw the shaft of a slide hammer into the nut, and hey presto!
