MultiHD gave me a tip that works really well. When I seat the second bearing I flip the pilots so they're on the flat side as opposed to the side that only contacts the outside of the bearing. That way, you can feel the bearing when it touches the axle spacer and you don't draw it down too tight.

Yeah that Works...
While on the subject of the "Tool"...
Here's a Cheap "Upgrade" IMO to the Cheap tool some may be interested in. I think I'll eventually give it it's own thread
Thrust Bearings... (you should also get an accompanying thinner "jam" nut for the puller...it's needed sometimes. I just milled mine though)
