Bearings fit pretty tight onto spindles. There basically should be no play at all between the inner portion of the bearing and the spindle. They don't fit so tight that they would have to be pressed on, but they sometimes can be tight enough that they require a bit of effort to get them totally slid on.
Check out the install video I attached for more info on how bearings install.
