Wheel bearing question
Does the inner bearing race get pressed in till it stops and cant go any farther, or till it is flush?
Let me know if you want any pics to show you what I mean. I am not really sure how else to describe it.

If you're talking about the race for the inner front wheel bearing, it should be pressed into the hub until it stops. Since the front wheel bearings are preloaded with the nut on the end of the spindle, if the race is not pressed up to the inner shoulder, it will eventually move under the loads of driving and the wheel bearing adjustment would loosen up.
