Hi all, my Mrs kindly bought me a new chrome hub for the front wheel on my PX. i'm getting a new set of bearings & seals etc but was wondering if i need a press to put the bearing in or just use a socket/old bearing & a big hammer. any other tips for fitting the bearing very much appreciated.

Use a press if you can, but if you t**t it with a hammer, make sure it goes in straight.

If you are going to "tap 😉" them in, tap on the side of the bearing that has letter or numbers on it. Heat the hub and freeze the bearing is a better way. If they are tight you could pull the in using a suitable threaded bolt and washer, like a clutch compressor.
See here, approx 13 minutes in...
