<font size="+1"><font face="Arial">One of the things I just learned
from a trusted mechanic after replacing front and rear bearings
many times over the years was this.</font></font><br>
<br>
When pushing the bearing/hub assembly onto the axle, use a drift
against the outer race of the bearing. If you push or pound on the
hub, you take the chance of the bearing disengaging from the hub.
The result is the hub sits firmly against the backing plate, but the
bearing stands proud of the hub just a bit. I also use an old outer
race to tap on so it exerts pressure equally around the new outer
race so the bearing does not cock as you try to press it home.<br>
