Can't you use the hydraulic press at your shop to push the bearings off and seat the new ones?

Got the turd goin today. I messed with it here and there all day as I was supposed to workin on the trucks at the shop.. I took the helper spring out and kinda like it like that. sits a little lower.. now the left side leans even more than it did before. may end up puttin a spacer in that side to level it out. i only blipped the gas a few times just to see what the old turd was like.. so far i like the 4.56 gears just takes a while going down the road in only second gear
