I really hate the idea of pounding them out. I haven't had to do any though and it's probably coming soon for my wagon build. I guess I'll have to see what I come up with. I do like the install setup. Looks good, repeatable. Luckily I have a small lathe so I can turn a rod to replace the rebar to help with alignment. I'll probably have to make a new cross bar for my press as well, it's not that wide.

I was so confused for a minute because my brain was seeing the press kit piece and the bearing race as a ball joint. At a glance it looks like a rubber boot with the rebar sticking in it.
