sound idea, I would go with a 3 mm hole at a trough hopefully.
i would also hold it lightly but firmly in a vise. Stability is needed.
i cannot tell the gap, but I would look or make a this wide “minus” screwdriver to fill the gap, with an angled edge to help tease the one end in and out.
at some point you may have to use a medium sized hook to enter from the other side to push it out.
will likely need lubrication too . I don’t think the finish is that critical on the inside, save ease of insertion of the new bearing.
BTW- literal translation of the Japanese for screwdriver types is Plus and minus.
