Any tips for pressing wheel bearings?

Well, I need to replace my wheel bearings as well as the wheel bearings on another one of my cars. So I when out and bought a cheap 12 ton press and ordered new bearings and seals. I've read the write-up on the motorvate.ca website, but I'm looking for additional info. I've been looking for a suitable drift to press out the hub but haven't found anything yet. Any tips?

I don't have search capability, so if somebody knows of a thread on this please provide a link.

Thanks

Don't press them in too far, or you'll end up doing it again in 6 months.

I've heard this before, but I'm not quite sure I understand. My understanding from the write-up on motorvate.ca's site is that there is a cir-clip in front of and behind the bearing in the spindle, so how can the be pressed too far? Or does this mean not to press the hub too far?
