OK, so the hub is first pressed into the bearing, then that whole unit pressed into the carrier?

The fellow in the pics must have pressed the hub into the bearing after it was in the carrier, no?

I have a press, bearing separator, and a couple flat plates along with an assortment of large sockets. Hopefully I will be able to complete this with those tools.

Any other tips you have would be great, thanks.
