Rear trailing arm bearing help

[stubble88]

I froze this bearing to get it in. But after it settled to room temp. It just falls right out. Is this normal? I thought it should be super tight in there.

The thought is that when it heats up from driving it will snug up.
I’m pretty sure it’s the right bearing.

Stubbs... if you have the old bearing... compare.

Check to see if there is evidence of the old bearing's outer race spinning in the housing, which would show as wear. IMO, if there is no discernible play between the bearing and the housing you are OK.

I don’t see any wear on the race. There is no play and the bearings measure the same compared to the old ones.
Is it common for these bearings to spin in the housing and causing problems?

It looks like you guys are talking about two different bearings. The top 1st photo is not a rear wheel bearing or housing.

I’m referring to a 1968 911 rear trailing arm large bearing. (Outer bearing).
