I agree except with mine the bearings where a little more than finger tight; certainly they are meant to be R&R but I have had to use a small screwdriver to separate the bearings from their seat and a few taps with a rubber hammer to re-seat them. Certainly nothing that would approach a truly "pressed" bearing, but it did need some effort as explained..
