Thanks for the info.

Well in my case it was a bit tighter of a fit. I put some fresh grease around the outside of the bearing and put it into position. I used a 1" socket and tapped it in with a socet wrench. However it would not go all the way in, so I used a hammer to evenly tap it in. And it was not all light tapping either. But anyways its in, and it was not a pain at all.
