You have to be careful with wheel bearings as there are 2 types, both types fit the hub perfectly but not the stub axle.
You wouldnt ordinarily know this until you have fitted them. What you will find is you suffer loss of brakes from the hub moving under braking as it goes off centre.

Guess what I'm getting at is try the new bearings on the stub axle before pressing into hub to ensure you have the correct ones

That's the whole point of the thread

Not when you have fitted 3 sets and paid some one to fit them, and they were only a few quid more than the chocolate that GSF sold me
