    Good good, a bearing press would probably be the best way to install them, but im not sure since they dont list a installation instruction on their site.

    From the looks of it, your going to pull the snap rings from the stock ones, push them out, then push in the new ones and install the new snap rings.

    It is possible to knock these in and out with the right tools. It is very important to only push by the outer race. Pushing by the inner can damage the joint. Whenever I press in bearing races I always use an Extreme Pressure Grease to help lubricate and prevent galling. I recommend using an arbor press. A drill press could even be used depending on fitment.

    Thanks. What about anti seize instead of the high pressure grease?

    The EP Grease will serve that same purpose.
