Pressing or beating AMC 20 axle bearing on

I was watching the Scout build link and at the end it showed what looked to be them beating the axle bearing on the 44 axle shaft with a piece of pipe.

Does the 44 bearing go on with less force then the AMC 20 bearing?????? I have been told beating a bearing on is a no no, but I have the bearing beater ready to go when I do mine.

Should I have it and the keeper ring pressed on or would you beat them on??????????
