    Zerk should be in towards the shaft, not on the flange side
    - this just makes it possible to get to w/o a lot of
    crawling and general annoyance.

    As far as the installation, don't use a hammer if you can
    possibly avoid it. Even with aa press those things are a
    PITA to install. Another tip - pack the cups with the
    bearings full of grease on the new joint - this will hold
    the #$%%$#$#$% bearings in place as you press everything
    into place. it's a bit messy, but playing chase the needle
    bearing gets old very quickly...
