Question Mecanum wheels - bearings?

Looking at the 8" Mecanum wheels that AndyMark sells, it appears the side plates on the wheels have a 1.125" hole cut out to install bearings. My quick question is: when we press the bearings in there, what's to stop them from being pressed in too far and ending up inside the wheel? As I recall, the KOP wheels have a small lip on the inside to prevent the bearings from going in too far.

Am I over-thinking this? We've never worked with Mecanum wheels, and I'm a little nervous trying to make sure we have all of our ducks in order before we order them.
