Thanks Paul,when you say 'tap' do you mean not much force is needed to press the new one in ? Do you use any lubrication to assist ?
Yes, a lot less than needed to remove, the wd40 aids fitting and evaporates away quickly so no long term effect on the bearings retention. I have never had one move in sevice using this method.
