The only reason I mentioned to stake the bearing as I've had them a bit too loose and staking helps to keep the outer race from rotating. If the bearing installs nice and tight Probably doesn't need to be staked. I assumed if your installing a bearing you know the procedure. That's all. like your little Emoji..
