Hey guys
Am installing new rear bearings.
Have removed the race and bearings easily, and have fitted the bearing on pretty easily too.

I am now attempting to install the race. Its killing me.
I've got a pipe over the axle and im using it as a slide hammer to beat the race down, but it's gotten to a point where its pretty much stuck.
I cant get it down anymore....

Is there another method or do I just have to find someone with a press...any help would be great.

Cheers

Make sure that you are installing it dead straight and a bit of lube on the outside of it will help slide it in. But yes a press would be handy.
