Ever since I had a close call with a burnt out bearing almost causing a tire to fly off my trailer during a road trip, I've become pretty anal about bearing maintenance on my boat trailer.

I can do all the work myself, pretty straight forward but was wondering if anyone was aware of a tool you could purchase that helps you set the race into the hub? I've always just used the old race and a hammer to tap in the new race until it was flush with the hub then used a strong piece of metal to tap around the edges of the new race until it was in its seat wich can take some time.

Hoping someone has a tip/trick/tool suggestion that doesn't involve a press of sorts?
