How do you install bearing races in truck wheels?

I have done it enough times that I know your best bet is a bearing race driver tool, but I have done it with a lot of different things. Once the old one is out center the race in the hub and using the tool, or something like a big socket that is the exact size as the outside edge of the race, I have used wood, pvc, metal pipe, but trust me the tool is the best. Strike the race by way of the tool as close to the center as you can until it is driven as far as the raised stop built into the hub. If it gets crooked stop and restart, to continue hitting it might damage the race or the hub.
