To prevent bearing damage, use suitable sleeve that only
contacts the inner race of the cone. A used bearing race
would be a suitable tool. This tool should have a slit cut if
the ID is the same as the flange OD.

flange half bearing boss using the proper press
sleeve or bearing installation tool.

oil to the mating surfaces.
