I'm going to replace the bearings in my halo back wheel, they've definitely had it.

This is the official guide. It advises using a punch to wack the new bearings back in to place. My question is, couldn't one just use the cones to press the new bearings back in to place? with a 15mm spanner.

Let me know if I'm missing something here.

Or one of the old bearings.

Don't punch them in.

Don’t use the cones: by just pressing against the inner race you’ll put tangential force on the ball bearings, digging into both races and risking ruining the bearing. Use the old bearing as suggested above.
