Is the outer race a tight fit here? if you can make a video about tight fir and loose fit bearings would be really great .cheers

[@JimMackHeavyEquipment]

Yes, the outer race is a tight fit. If it fits loose the whole hub would need to be replaced.

Do you drive the rear race in until it also bottoms out?

[@JimMackHeavyEquipment]

Yes, you drive both races in until they bottom.

@@JimMackHeavyEquipment , thank you .

Does it matter which way the race faces?

[@JimMackHeavyEquipment]

Yes, it 100% matters. The race is tapered and if installed backwards it will not work. It is called an "opposed tapered bearing" system and there are two races that must be installed opposite ways from each other.

@@JimMackHeavyEquipment thanks for the reply, so does the thicker end sit against the lip in the hub?

[@JimMackHeavyEquipment]

@@MSB1080 Yes, that would be correct.
