Miele Bicycle -- Fork - Lower Bearing Race Installation

I brought the fork home hoping that there will be a piece of tubing somewhere in the garage that will be just the right size to help "press" the bottom bearing race onto the fork.  This is the handle to the orange floor jack.  It happens to be just the right diameter to fit the fork...

Just the right size.  Simply gently "slam" the bearing race into the jack handle repeatedly to force the race onto the bottom of the fork...
It took about 20 "slams"

The race is "pressed" onto the bottom of the fork.  Now it can be reinstalled on the frame with the rest of the headset...
