No they were pressed in and not by some backwoods job either it was an actual press. But the guy that did it pushed the bearing and lock collar on just enough to fit the snap ring. I asked him if this was going to cause an issue he said it was fine. But once I went to put the shafts back in that's when I noticed they weren't pressed in all the way, but the flange bolts pulled it in the rest of the way. So I am wondering if there is still room for those bearings to be seated all the way in the bearing pockets.
