Old trick! Take a prick punch and "raise " the metal all around the bearing pocket .You are basically "knurling " the metal .

Loctite makes some stuff called Quick metal press fit .I've got a tube in front of me as I type and damned if I can find the number .Never the less press your bearing using some kind of compound  and let it set for a day .It should work .

I did an 048 Stihl maybe 7-8 years ago and never had a problem .Now I heated the pocket and froze the bearing but I really don't think it was neccessary .
