I set the bottom race on the stem with the 1 1/4" copper pipe. This was the only one that gives anyone trouble. The copper pipe made it really easy. I did the ones in the frame with a really hard mallet. The bottom one in the frame would probably be easy with a large piece of copper that was the same size, but I just used a flat metal rod and tapped around the edge (carefully) to finish that one. The top one only required the mallet. I was afraid to do this myself, but after doing it, it wasn't that bad. It just took some muscle and patience. A set of metric allen wrench socket adapters will make life easier too.
