Let me add an important step I failed to mention! After you gave the axle end where you installed the new bearing a good whack with a heavy hammer, go to the other side and do the same thing - this is important as it will seat the opposite side bearing race against the backing plate. Then go back to the original side and check the end play. Remember, the axles move back and forth as a pair and the bearing cups must be in their final positions against the backing plate to measure properly.
