So I've got new Timken bearings to install in the rear wheels and need a few tips.

I put the races in the freezer for a couple of hours, then I tried one outer and it seemed really tough to install. I used the old race as a driving tool. I put a bit of grease on the hub to help, but maybe there is not suppose to be any lube put there?

Also did it on the concrete floor sitting on a piece of hardwood which is not perfectly flat so it was bouncing a bit... maybe that is part of my problem?

Any suggestions for this farmboy mechanic?

Thanks
