The 3/4" screw is not big enough. I went through one screw per bearing until i upgraded.
If you got it in far enough to set the circlip it's good to go.
I broke a 1/2" breaker bar on one. I couldn't get the second one off with breaker bar i got a high torque m18 and never had a problem since.
I used to put the bearing in the freezer overnight but with the 1" screw no longer needed.

A bigger bolt would obviously be stronger but wouldn't it be just as hard to get it moving, unless the thread pitch was finer? Maybe a 3/4" bolt with fine thread would do it?
Maybe this is an excuse to finally get a high torque electric impact.
