Bearing fits are tricky. The difference between an easy fit and tight is incredibly small, and even ball races have tolerances. Comparison by measuring is difficult even when transferred to one mike. Vernier callipers too caorse although can be used as agauge. Nails can be filed to length as rigid precision internal gauges. Or can turn up test plugs or rings to determine exact size and shape and for easy comparison. Are the housings clean and unbruised? The ball race edges to the radius can be eased. Tony, or Machinerys Handbook etc can provide typical recommended fits. Very slight easing may not be a crime.
