Recently sold a set of wheels on the clasifieds and decided to replace the rear bearings before sending.
Hub came apart no problem, but i'll be darned if i can fit the new bearing in the non driveside. Its definitely the correct bearing size, but there appears to be a slight ledge in the hub body that prevents the bearing being pressed in fully. Im reluctant to use brute force and have no special tools so what am i missing?
rear hub is a D712sb.
courier booked for tomorrow so help urgently required!

Assuming the bearing has gone in part way, then you've had to remove it again, I'd say there's a burr that needs cleaning out before it'll go in fully.
Happens quite often if you're not careful, using a proper bearing press etc.
If it is that, just clean it up with a stanley blade so it's smooth, grease it up & try again.
If it isn't that, then I don't know-I've got three sets of those hubs & never had an issue!
Try putting the bearing in the freezer as well. Might be just enough if it's a bit it tight.
