Default Wheel Bearing FAIL!!!

so one of the wheel bearings was out on my bike so i decided to changed tem earlier today (i received my bearings from a local shop about a week or 2 ago) and all went well except for taking out the busted bearing...the damned thing fell apart when i tried to drive it out... haha so the outer collar thing whatever its called the outer race or whatever was stuck in my wheel and took me about an hour to figure out how to get it out.. but in the end everything ended up fine

Before you put the new bearings in put them in the fridge overnight in their plastic bag- makes them easier to fit. NOT a joke !
Shrinks them just enough for them to go in easily.No hammering and chance of damaging them.
FWIW
