When every thing is cleaned sit the bearing housing on a block of wood with the side that the seal goes into face down. What i do now is heat the housing for 10-15 mins & take the outer race from the freezer all going to plan with the housing hot & the outer race cold it should just drop straight into the housing all the way to the seat if it doesnt just give it a gentle tap on the outside edge with a brass drift (DONT USE A HARDENED PIN PUNCH OR CHISEL) untill it sits on the seat
Now this part is very important with the housing still sitting on the timber go back to the fridge & grab a rum & let the bearing housing cool enuff to handle
