I planned on pressing the new bearings I got from Peter on but they are
ball and not tapered roller.  I assume a little heat may help...   I will
ask Peter about shims as I don't have any.  These are wire hubs - any
tricks in getting them off?  Use a puller?   Use a puller on the old
bearings?  Thanks for all the input guys!!

Cheers!!
Jim

    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>
