Cant beat a big bishops head....she said
I thought the dog was saying, "if it fals over on my toes I will not be pleased".
And finished my modifications to the mill bearing blocks so they actually have bearings now and are worthy of that name!
Hoover floating on the end of the spindle bore via the suction worked well for keeping the chips out of the way so I could see the progress.
Then made the spacers to account for what I had removed and spread the load on the bearings better.
Assembled minus handle.

Never pull a bearing into a housing by the inner race.

Been busy in the cave these last couple of days. If you take one of these....
add a bit of this
and a bit of this to act as a tight fit bush
you end up with this.....
Keeps a fellow busy and the brain active.....which is nice.

It's pushing it in and being angular contact its designed to take load in the orientation its going in but thankfully it required barely any force to slip into its pocket.
Yes its not the ideal way to do it but one has to make compromises with the limited tools they have.
Still not the way to do it. Use the outer of the old bearing maybe?
Doubt you'll see any issue in your application, but do it at my place of work, and you will be shouted at loudly and probably looking for a new job.
With my mini mill, I fitted a flanged deep-groove bearing each side - taken it from a heave the handle round a quarter turn at time, to spinning nicely and freely, with same gib adjustment.
