There is a possibility the installation force may be more than the thread can bear as it may be a bit sloppy and not designed for loading in an axial direction. This of course is not decided by me but by the values of the interference fit and the thread clearance. They can be drawn in using some washers and sockets with a threaded rod thru the center as found in the tech tips. Put them in the freezer overnight to shrink them a bit and as for direction choose the one with the least obstacles.
