Instead of it going to plan as I tightened up the nut on one end of the studding, unbeknown to me as I was concentrating on the progress of the bearing, all I succeeded in doing was bending the bar which caused the bearing to start to go in crabbed. I think I need a mandrel to locate in the disc side to ensure a perfectly straight pull when the studding is tightened. Quite possibly the bearing is ok, but being a bit "precious" about getting things correct, I've bought another bearing. Not cheap at £11 a pop, but when it is eventually installed, I 'll have peace of mind that all is ok.
