Hi there, I was wandering if there was anything I can do to press the bearing seats into the stem without having to use a press tool?
if everythings spotlessly clean use a flat surface (ideally a larger diameter than the outer race) and gently drift it in making sure its sitting square as you do it. They dont need alot of pressure. i tapped mine with a soft faced mallet to get it started and then put a bit pf plate over the top to continue. Alt you could thread a long bolt through the stem hole with big washers on each end and then tighten them up to pull it in
