To fit the new bearings stand the rotor up on its end and then I used a deep socket the diameter of the shaft to tap the centre ring of the bearing. Tap the bearing all the way down till it stops, taking care not to damage the seals. Fit the thrust washer back(remember it's orientation) using the same method down onto the front bearing. Now flip it over and fit the smaller rear bearing.
Time to put it all back together, a rubber mallet comes in handy to persuade it...
