I saw that, yeah, it was a rhetorical question.
Next time at least use old bearings as an interface to press new ones in and put a spacer between outer races so the old inner race can move inwards and not put pressure on the new inner races.
And like mentioned, regardless, it won't matter much for pivot bearings, but pressing them in by the inner races is just something I can't get myself to doing. Even if they go in easy (unless they go in by hand) and even if I know it doesn't matter. It's just a sort of a PSA from a smartass on the internet. Turns out loads of people ignore said guys and function in the world just fine.
BTW, in some cases (DT 370/350/240 series of hubs) you need to press in BOTH races at the same time since you're pressing the bearing into the body and over the axle at the same time.
