^ The axle housing
2. Install the outer bearing into the wheel hub.
3. Install the outer bearing cup into the wheel hub.
4. Drive the bearing cup into the wheel hub using the J 44419 (2) and the J 8092 (1).

6. Install the inner bearing cup.
7. Drive the inner bearing cup into the wheel hub using the J 24427 (2) and the J 8092 (1).
8. Install the inner bearing.
Important: Each time you replace the wheel hub bearings, install a new oil seal in order to prevent the wheel hub from leaking.

Since you're a carpenter, you should be good at hammering the cups in. Just make sure you wear eye protection. Let us know how it turns out, so this thread can be resolved.
