Bearings are pressed into the disc.

Isn't the race pressed into the disc (both sides mind) and the bearings placed onto the race then sealed?

I used a hammer and tap and took my time, never had a press  :smiley:

do'nt forget your ABS rings if you have ABS.You can often get them off your old discs but they are quite fragile and often break.
