Marcel, I just had my diff apart to replace seals and just to look 
around inside. I had to use a 20 ton press to get those bearings off the 
inner axle shaft; very tight. I'd check the tolerances on the shaft and 
bearing. You may have some wear in the parts. Pressing them back 
together took some force too.

Loc tite has a product for holding bearings onto shafts, green I think. 
It may help.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Bill
