Hi all, I have a couple bearing questions. I just installed my new steering stem bearings and I cant seem to get them seated all the way. I have the motion pro steering stem bearing driver and I'm whacking it as hard as possible but it won't go that final mm. What should I do? Should I freeze it again? I'm guessing the bearing will shrink along with the stem so it seems to be pointless. Are there other tricks or am I missing something?

I also just installed the rear wheel bearings but the inner race seems to be stuck on both sides. Is it possible I drove them too far and they're jammed against the spacer? I don't see how that's possible but that's the only possibility I can think of. Everything seems to be square. If I look down the spacer the inner races are all lined up so everything looks good from that respect. I should note I froze the bearings before installing and I heated up the wheel a lot. By the time I drove them in the inner race was super hot from the heat transfer. Could the temperature change have anything to do with it? Thanks for the input!
