A C clamp or vise and the correct diameter socket or pipe works good for installation. The idea is to press on the outer race. I've also driven in many an auto bearing with hardwood block and hammer until flush and then a brass drift to seat.
Thanks for the tip dedhed. . . My buddy has a bearing press so installation ought to be less challenging than removal with a drift.
