There should be little interference in the fit of the bearing inside of the housing
tube. Once the retainer is unbolted, they usually slide right out with little or no
effort. If you do have to use a lot of force to pull the axle out, you might want
to open up the bearing recess slightly in the housing tube so the bearing fits with only a slight amount of interference. That will reduce the chance of bearing
damage next time the axle is pulled. There only has to be enough interference
to keep the outer bearing race from spinning inside the housing tube which is
unlikely anyway with the weight of the vehicle on it.
