Put the OBX in the freezer, put the bearing in front of a electric heater.

Normally just drop right on, or used a large socket.
Eh I was just a thought if I had to.

20 ton press does make it easier, but I didn't have the space and the press was 35 miles away.

Some heat and hand pressing them on works if you're in a bind. Press is much easier though, and the correct way.

The correct way is driving the bearings down by hand, with a hammer, per factory manual and Honda training center modules.

Lube the bearing race with MTF or urea grease, using the special tool, and drive down gently. I have a video I should upload.
