Rear wheel bearing, has this been solved?

Alright fellas! I made a bearing press that as far as my thinking goes will not allow for axial loading on the bearings! Dimensions are pretty tight but not too tight I held everything within .003, bearings slide in nicely, extended shoulder/sleeve will allow for the center spacer to hold in line with everything as it's drawn together, going to fit the brake side first since it runs down to a shoulder in the bore and the opposing side will get drawn in nice and easy and without any risk of being crooked. When my new bearing show up and I get too it we will see if my engineering skills are worth the ****... I have some needle roller bearings showing up today the sit in a counter bore on the ends so there won't be any binding metal to metal.
