On a drum, I normally use a socket & hammer. Lightly tap, don't go mad on it. Edited by Jason G on 4th Jun, 2008. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

If you warm the (alloy) hubs with a heat gun the bearings will go in a lot easier.

Oven at 100-120 celcius (to be shure not to cause trouble with the heat treatment)

Humm. Well for the use the car gets I know it won't be a problem. But I'd rather keep the bearing dry. And it looks a bit bobbins with it not fitted. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Didn't somebody recently get some plastic trailer hub nut covers that where a snug fit? Just need a small amount turning of them. Might work for you. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

After a bit of measureing the SC hubs have an ID of 51.2 mm, the caps are 52mm OD.
