You may ONLY apply pressure to the opposing side of
the race being installed.  ONLY!  Any other method
will produce early failure.  BTW, the "old" race
shells make great press collars.  They are exactly the
correct size.  Just make sure they are aligned so they
ONLY press against the race.  Also, NO LUBE!  No
grease, WD-40, bacon fat or anything!
