TR2/3/3A replacing front wheel bearing races

I am replacing the front wheel bearing and was wondering how others replace the inner race. Now I am using a punch to remove the race and a brass drift to pound the race back inside the hub. I am thinking someone has a better idea??? I am slowing tapping the new race in with the brass drift and maybe that is best.

I guess the races would come together as the big nut is tightened, but it seems the force to pull them together would be more force than nut tightening can deliver….

I guess I will slowly tap the race into the hub until the race bottoms out in the hub. I suppose the pros would have a press to do the job.

Use the old race and drive them in with a brass hammer.

Or a large socket that’s the same size as the race diameter
