yes, i did it with mine, made putting them in a lot easier.
i left mine in the package though.

Works ever better if you heat up you carrier with a blow dryer.

i never froze or heated anything!! what ever you do,dont hit the inner ring of the bearing(with a hammer or somthing lke that) as it will damage the bearing

freezing is the best thing you can do to the bearing. works great. you can also put the carrier in the oven at like 100 or 150 and it will allow them to just drop in.
