In replacing the front wheel bearing on my 1981 380sl, I didn't realize that the races were as tapered as the bearings. So I put the races in upside down with the Timken logo facing out, and now I can't get the bearings in. Nor can I get the races out because, there's no lip to tap on.

Can anyone out there tell me what I can do to fix the problem, short of getting a new hub?

Thanks a lot in advance.
