Lawrence,
Next time try using the old bearing race as the "punch" to have something to
tap with the hammer. They are the exact size to distribute the forces
uniformly and they have a smooth surface to put against the new bearing. The
"freeze and heat" idea works great with this also.
>and I only took them out of the freezer one at a time to tap them into the
hubs with >the same punch(don't slip! don't want to scratch the surface!).
Didn't have to heat
>the hubs in the oven.
just a thought,
