Default fork bearing race replacement

I will be replacing the lower bearing on my 01 N/T. How far do you press the races in? Is it untill bottom out? Having to repalce because replacing trees.

Yup. And, the frame neck races go in a bit easier if you put them in a plastic bag to keep moisture out and stick them in the freezer for a while, then stick them in while they are cold.
