I know some don't like that idea, but, its an old Ford factory rep tip that was taught to me back in the 50s. It works well.

Please use Loctite like Werner said. Punchmarks may have been an official repair method by Ford, but that was in a time where better alternatives weren't available.

I just can't believe THAT. I've never seen or heard of a bearing where the fixed ring should turn on the axle.
