Green axle bearing installation

[ShelbyZ-TII]

Could anyone enlighten me as to how the green bearings are installed onto an axle? The boxes I got from Mancini have a bearing with a mounting flange, retainer, and seal. These are going on a set of A-body, 8 3/4, large bolt pattern, Yukon axles.

I'm guessing that, from the outside of the axle to the inside (flange to splines), the installation goes like this:

flange / bearing / retainer / seal (does this go inside the axle tube?) / splines

If anyone has any tips or, even better, pictures as to how these go together, I would really appreciate it.

and yes the seal goes inside the axle tube.

My only tip is take the stuff to a machine shop.

This is a press operation. Not something to be done with a hammer and chisel.
