Fitting new bearings

[headcoats]

I have removed the old bearings from my KR1S front wheel with a bearing remover tool and now i need to fit the replacements.
I'm a bit hesitant to fit them as i don't want to damage the wheel or the bearings.

Can i drift them in with a correct size socket or is this dodgy
any ideas/help would be great

Thats what I did - If you pop the bearings in the freezer for a while and warm the wheel with a hot air gun you can sometimes just drop them in!

Cheers for the advice peeps
Now i noticed that the one bearing well ,the bearing will just go in and hit the bottom ,but on the other side there is no stop if you get what i mean.
So do you first fit the bearing that bottoms out ,insert the middle tube and then fit the one with the bottomless bit
Does this make any sense or shall i walk away now

Makes perfect sense to me! and yet again that is exactly how I did mine - so I hope its right!
