Default Comp Cams trunion upgrade Q's???

I just got my upgrade kit in the mail and have started getting all the old stuff out of the rockers... My question is how far do i press the new bearings in? enough so that the snap rings keep the center from moving? Flush with the rocker? or in a little ways to keep the center tight?

Default rocker arm upgrade

press the bearing's flush to the edge of the rocker but not so far in that it's tight on the trunion,also make sure the lettering on the bearings are facing out.

YUP, press the bearings in against the edge of the rocker, and if you dont have the right spacers they recommend then take the shaft and put a snap ring on it, press it in against the bearing and then flip it over and put the other ring on it, and you are done,, also like stated above,, make sure the numbers on the bearings are facing out.
