I didn't slide the bearings on the shafts before install but I did match them up to the old ones and they seemed to be a perfect match under inspection. I borrowed a slide tool and bearing removal kit from O'Reileys to get the old ones out. I also borrowed a set of bearing punches from them for the install.......The bearings were tight but they went it no problem..... I pounded them in until the sound of the blows changed and I could feel the back of the bearing on the lip of the axle shaft. The seals are up against the bearings and have about a 1/4" lip where they rest in the axle.

I may have to borrow the tools from O'Reiley's again and pull the stuff out but I really hate to do that when I'm certain they are installed correctly. I have a free night tonight so I'm going to try it again and see if I can figure it out.

Any other help or idea are greatly appreciated.
