That was a good reminder - I meant to put the thermal data from the calculator - for this combination, cooling the bearing to -85C (-120 F) will make it an exact fit. You won't get there with a normal freezer, but dry ice would get close.. Likewise, you would have to heat the hub to 125 C (250 F) to get to the point where it is an exact fit (still not a sliding or running fit, but better than interference). Some combination of the two approaches would also work.
