I am doing the same task. I have a question for you - is there an outer 
race in the hub or am I seeing the machined surface the bearing sits on? 
I had to bust the outer bearing out and it came out in pieces. Can't 
tell if I still have the inner race for the outer bearing there or not.

I think I just answered my own question - compare it to the new bearing.

By the way that hub is $70 from Busted Bus. I may have ruined mine.

I had planned to tap my new bearings in slowly - many light taps on the 
outer race in a circular pattern. Alternatively - if the hub is off of 
the vehicle, you can take it to a shop and pay them to press them in. 
How much could that cost? $20 or less? I have access to a press if you 
live in middle TN.
