One important thing is to make sure you have the inner bearing assembled before installing the outer seal. You can't believe how many times I've seen "mechanics" install the seal before they put the inner roller bearing in! One other thing, when installing the new race I always use a brass drift punch. Using a steel punch you run the risk of chipping a piece off the bearing and ruining the part, and the small piece then becomes a projectile that can impale you. Use eye protection when doing this. Take my word for it, having an eye surgeon remove small metal chips from your eye is not my idea of a good time! Thanks again Pete for all the great information you have given the beginning new mechanics out here ( and us old guys too)!

Thanks for this video! I just found out my Galaxies rotors aren't part of the hub... since I'm replacing the rotors, I'm replacing the bearings. This is exactly what I needed to know!

The steel you are asking about looks to either come from a lathe bed or a mill.. Before I owned a press, I did it pretty close to the same as you, with a few differences. 1) I flipped the socket and installed an old 1/2" extension. That allowed me to keep my fingers down at the socket and bearing race until it met the face of the hub. Then 2) I have a pile of old races I keep in a box that were removed from other vehicles and that I ground down the outside diameter so that it would slide in and out of the hub easily. I used one of them to press the race the rest of the way home..

If you keep repacking the bearings, that's where the extra will end up

I keep hearing bad reports about Edelbrock heads "new in box”, having issues, like vlv seat run out, guides randomly are loose . Seems like we are forever now going to need to have the local machine shop disassemble the “New in Box heads”, and verify everything now. This has been going on years now.
