Sorry for the late answer, Ameer. The other replies seem to have missed the
boat entirely. You first press the bearing into the hub, as they said, and
install the snap ring. Then you press the hub into the bearing until it
seats. WARNING! You MUST support the inner race of the bearing when you do
this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you press the hub into
the assembly without supporting the load on the inner race, you'll need
another bearing. Period. No exceptions. Pulling it through with the axle
and nut is an unsatisfactory way to do it, putting a lot of strain on the
threads, which were NOT made to do this. HTH, John
