The face of the bearing that contacts the pressure plate faces out, so you press against that face to get it on the hub. I have used Loctite 609 retaining compound on a couple loose generator bearings with good success. It takes a LOT of heat to break it down. I wouldn't worry about that.
Just FYI, Bert's has good originals for a good price.
