This is a step-by-step instruction to install new bearings in the front hubs and attach the hubs to the car. I am going to make the assumption that you have already purchased new hubs or removed all of the seals and bearing from the old hub and had it checked for correct thickness and trueness. My recommendation is to purchase new hubs/discs.
When you get the bearings, remove the race and place them in a freezer. This will slightly shrink the race, so that you can start the installation of the bearings into the hub. Attached image(s)

Next, I flipped the hub over. Again, you'll notice the lip. There are 2 different sizes of race/bearings. The small bearing goes on the outside/front, the larger, on the inside/back.
