The old hub needs to be pressed into the center of the new bearing and the whole assembly then pressed into the carrier. I've heard tell of those that have pounded it back in, but I've had too much corrosion in the hub--Also, its and interference fit of a couple thousands of an inch so hammering could bung up the new bearing pretty easy.
