This photo shows the R8 lower end of the quill before installation of the new bearing outer race. Make sure the bearing location is very clean. Any debris will keep the bearing from properly seating.
I was able to tap the outer races in with a rubber mallet and a bearing driver plate. I installed both upper and lower outer bearing races with a rubber mallet and bearing plate.
Upper installed.
Lower inner race ready to be pressed into place.
To install the lower inner race I slid it on to the quill and then used the shop press to push it into place.
