If you are having major issues with fitting baerings on an axle then I would look at the size of the items. Cheap bearings form some kart suppliers are not the best. You can get bearing cheaper form bearing supplers and they are better Qlty.

We have a sleave that fits over the axle. We use WDF on the axle and then slightly tap the bearing on to the axle then use the sleve to gently tap the bearing on. When its near the correct loaction we spray brake cleaner on the axle. One all bearing are in roughly the correct area correct area we start measuring.
