I just installed new axle bearings and seals.I have 2 questions, first can the bearings be driven in too far and also in regards to the seals should they be driven in to the minimum of the bevel in the tube ?

well since I got no response I just left the seals flush
and drove the bearings as far as they would go and all seems fine.
