if you do have to beat a bearing on... do it with a piece of tube that contacts the inner race, it's the strongest part of the bearing. YOu dont want to push on the balls/needles or the outer race. I don't agree with heat to install a bearing at all either, not direct extreme torch heat anyway. Acceptable to heat one up in an oven to expand it.
but, don't be a retard, use a press. If you don't have, get a friend with one, come down and use mine, whatever... the word "beating" should never be used with bearings unless you need to beat one off of something.
