Are they press-in cartridges or what? How did you get the old bearing cartridges out? A picture might be helpful.

I checked on the wide and wonderful internet and found that I could easily order 10 of them for 15 dollars, or go down to my local enormous tool warehouse 2 miles away and get them there...

So now I have a wheel with the innards taken out, and brand-new cartridge bearings.

Are these hard to put correctly back in? I've overhauled Shimano cup-and-cone bearings many times, but never this type. I'll check Park Tool etc., but it would be handy to hear from anyone who's done this.
