I can understand it might make getting them in easier, however it's an interference fit and it's meant to be very snug so that the outer bearing doesn't move, only the inner. I've been taught to place the bearings in the freezer overnight so that they contract ever so slightly and then to heat up where the bearing is to be mounted so that it expands ever so slightly. That way it makes the job easier, although still a bit of a bastid!
I did think about this and Ur right, but patience is a virtue and I lack it by times :rollin so it was either grease it and squeeze it in or batter the bejasus out of it haha,

Yea I think I got the idea from a picture you put up of this but I hope it turns out nicer than the photoshop photo, slightly darker red so fingers crossed
Here's it with forks on, I do have more done but haven't taken a photo yet
