I concur with your thinking. On my MG Midget the rear axle bearings are held in a carrier that bolts to the axle housing. Don't have to fit the entire axle into the pres. Just the bearing carrier.

Received some drill bits from McMaster to fill out my jobber set of drills. Now have a full set of 115 jobber drills. Well actually, 114 drills, for some reason I didn't get an E drill. I do have a 1/4" drill bit in the fractional set. Some time in a future order, I will add an E drill to fill the hole in the letter drill index.
Got some spare parts from Grizzly for my lathe and my ELS project. My timing pulley is wider than the gear that used to be there, (11mm vs the original gear width of 8mm) so these spare parts will let me machine them to get the pulleys to line up correctly.
The idea is to machine the top part of the gear shaft to lengthen the top part. This will move the pulley closer to the lathe body. I may also machine a pocket in the plastic pulley to make it a little thinner so the timing pulley will partially nestle in the gear. I will also have to machine the timing pulley so that the E-clip will retain the pulley.
Because I saw this while I was ordering the spare parts, I bought this 6" vernier caliper for $4.50. Couldn't resist for that price. Beater caliper. Has large digits. Also has sort of a scale on the side, so you could guesstimate something even if the battery ran out. Came with two LR44 batteries and a sturdy blow molded case. Case is nicer than the Harbor Freight ones.

I never use the cases anymore. I have a place in my toolbox for them, and that's where they go. I find the boxes eat up too much space.

You throw loose drill bits in your toolbox? How do you find the right one?

Err, think I will stay with the small index boxes. I have some metric drill bits but no index, but they are in individual plastic boxes. Even though I have labeled them, they are a mess and chaotic. I'd rather have the index boxes. There's enough chaos in my life, no need to torture myself with more!The case for the caliper
