A bearing seating tool is a good idea. Sometimes you get lucky
and a piece of copper tubing faced off in the lathe is the right size.

As far as ABEC-1 for stepper motors....

I would guess 90% of all stepper, servo, or induction motors
use ABEC-1 tolerance. For your bearing size that means max runout is
typically 0.0004"! About the only reason to use something higher is
if it is in a motorized spindle or something. Also, I have found very
few shops that can properly machine a housing for something
like ABEC-7.

The fact that there is no mention of accuracy in the part number
means it is prob default ABEC-1. In fact I have never seen better than
ABEC-1
in any servo or stepper that was not also a unitized spindle.

Oh one other thing... There has been much mention of partially demagnetizing
steppers by removing the rotors from from the housing. I cannot confirm this
but it might be prudent to keep the rotor in the housing while replacing
bearings.
