Assuming it is the fit of the main pinion ball race in its undistorted housing, you are fortunate. Often this race has been turning and is an easy fit. Dunno why, possibly chips wedge in it. Current external dia tolerance is generally slightly larger dia than historically.
If the balls and tracks are not rusted, pitted, or indented by chips, this is the only bearing worth the expense of renewing.
On cars often worked on, as the Seven, including by "mechanics", all manner of damage is likely. Vice marks, vice crush, punch burrs etc.
