That is weird. I've never seen a set of rotors that didn't have the races already installed. You can drive them in with a hammer and a race driver but it would save alot of time if you went to a different parts store and bought rotors with races already installed.

You will probably need to have the outer bearing rings pressed
into the rotor. Thats a really tight fit there, doubt a hammer will work without scoring the metal. Any decent gas station garage should have a small press, take about 5mins. and charge very little. +1, odd the rotors didnt already have them in there.
