How do you get new races into the hub?
The idiot book says take them to VW, yeh, right!

Find some large sockets that just match or are a little smaller than the outside dimension of the races and use these to drive in the bearing races.

A cheap trick is to drive out the old races and take them to the bench grinder and grind down the outer diameter a bit until they drop in without binding.Then use them to drive in the new races. Good luck
