A method for installing the ring of an antifriction bearing in a bore of a housing or hub, wherein the ring is of a size that would interfere with the housing and prevent installation. The installation is done using a lengthwise force fit process without affecting the temperature of either the ring or housing at the bore by an inclined header rotating around the axis of the bore to apply an orbital, wobble, rolling movement to the ring and to press the ring into the bore. The interference of the bearing ring with the bore corresponds to tolerance fields set forth in DIN 7155.
