I was concerned about exactly the same when I was banging on the hub center but I used a large headed hammer so less pressure less denting.
Here's my upgraded 1" bolt bearing press. Non challenge pressing the back bearing in as it probably takes 7-10T of force vs the 31T capability. As you can see it's a relatively easy concept a couple steel plates with 1" hole and an 8" bolt. I turned it 80% on by hand but did use impact wretch for the last 20%
The stacked plates are because the bolt isn't fully threaded.
