No, I contacted the tech at Dexter and you do not have to press the bearing in place with a driver when installing 50MM Nev-R-Lube bearings for 8,000-lb Dexter Axles part # 31-71-3 because there are not any races or seals to drive into place.
When installing you can use a dowel to gently tap the bearing into place to prevent damage. A lot of our customers like the Nev-R-Lube bearings because you do not have to worry about seals, races, or repacking the bearings because all of the components are combined into one part.
