Omni Wheel

Our team recently purchased 6" Aluminum Omni wheels from Andy Mark. I also got the "press fit" 1/2" ID bearings that are recommended for the wheels. When they said press fit I figured heating up the wheels so the bearing would slide in, then cooling it down to get a tight fit. Contrary to my assumption, the bearings slide right in and out of the holes. I was wondering if any other teams had this problem and how you solved it. Or if there is a standard way to solve this problem that I haven't found on the forums yet

Thanks
