Steve,
I sprayed a bit of WD-40 to make the insides of the hubs slippery, and then
I just banged the races in. I didn't heat or cool anything.
There's a semi-circular cut-out on the inside of the hub that accommodates
a punch. I alternated smacking the punch on each side and kept it going in
square. It will take a few minutes, so just be patient and be careful.
good luck,
Tom
