Shy, yes according to my tech notes.

I am reliably informed by my engineers that the bearings are interference fit and have to be cooled with liquid nitrogen for installation so that they expand in place once fitted so the outer race rotating shouldn't be possible.
But when the bearing seizes, something mechanically abnormal will happen; it's a matter of what gives first.
