Well the cold/hot would have taken some doing since I don't personally have an oven or a grille. I planned to use a propane torch for the heat & put the races in a deep freezer overnight tonight if things didn't go well this morning. Every time I attempted to knock the race into place, the 'tool' was as plumb/vertical as possible so my 'alignment' was correct.

But..... They're installed. The right tools make a BIG difference w/the installation. No changes on installation technique. No changes in my 'procedure'. I even had to show the tech @ my buddies work the order of assembly (he said it had been 10+yrs since he'd messed aroung w/C30 hubs). A few good whacks using his driver vs the aluminum store brand unit & it was in. I did use the alum driver to knock it in further (to the point the snap ring could be installed)....
