Will I need a press? I'm still yet to properly look into how to do the job, but from the quick look I've had I wasn't expecting that. I will be buying a full assembly, that already has the bearing seated within it (as pictured below). I do have access to a press if needs be, just wasn't expecting that.

Edit:

Okay just looked into it, I'd been watching YouTube videos of the bolt in style assembly but I see this one has to be pressed in like you say.
