One thing of advise, when you are putting the unit bearings back on. Use anti-seize, it will make the next time alot easier.

IMO the press was WAY more difficult and in my case resulted in breaking one of the caps.
I've done this as well, but when I looked at it closer, a bearing had fallen down. Ya live and learn right
