Be careful with FAG bearing. I found one with OD slightly out of spec, press-fit was so loose that I could pull it out easily without damaging it. Bought a few more to check and it was 10-20 micron smaller... I installed another and it is working just fine for 10K miles now, and I spare 2 new ones for front-end job in future.
