Only tips I have on the bearings is to tap out slowly working "round the clock" as it were. Don't take too big of a bite, sort of like spooning a tire on. Save the old bearing once you tap them out, you can use them to protect the new ones when you tap them in. I've frozen the new bearings to allow them to fit into the race on the wheel a little easier too.
Definitely look into the tightening procedure back in the saddle mentions. It's less complicated on conventional forks, but tighten the big bolts first, bounce the front to center everything, and move on down to the small bolts that require less torque. Dave Moss does a nerdy video on it - kinda helpful if you struggle with the core concept.
