A method of assembling a vehicle driveline component that includes: positioning a rotary component and first race member on a fixture such that the first race member is concentric with a first race of the component; offsetting the first race member along the rotational axis relative to the first race; providing an annular bearing arrangement having balls and spacers; positioning the arrangement such that the centers of the balls are along a loading cylinder disposed concentrically about the rotational axis; moving the arrangement so the balls seat in the first race and the centers are distributed along an installation circle that is: a) larger in diameter than the loading cylinder if the first race is an outer race of a bearing assembly; or b) smaller in diameter than the loading cylinder if the first race is an inner race of a bearing assembly.
