Installing swing arm bearings on a 2004 KTM sx85

I used a ball joint press tool to install the new bearings. A 7/8 socket fit over the press and worked good to push the bearing in. A 19mm or a socket that is just smaller than the bearing works good to push the first bearing in to be able to start the second one. I should have inserted a stop on the back side for getting the first bearing flush to the inside. Then just push the outside one flush. there is about a 1/16 on each side where this gap could have been in between the bearings.
