how to press on outer pinion bearing?
Any tips?
Can I use the pinion nut and a sleeve? Maybe a deep socket and a bfh? Don't want to damage the bearing you know.

Oven and freezer? And if I do that should I let tempratures equalize before setting preload?

I USE A KING SIZE ARBOR PRESS AND STACK UP LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING SHELLS ON TOP OF THE PINION BEARING INNER RACE. PUSH ON INNER RACE ONLY OF COURSE.
