From years of mechanics, I have replaced bearings in just about everything known to man. Alot of the tips on clutch bearings simply offer me a few good giggles.
The very first tip is to understand that when you are buying any clutch bearing regardless of size. Be sure that you are getting a high speed/temp bearing. A 5x10 bearing is the most common and their are alot of them on the market. Be sure to get the clutch bearing.
The next tip. There should be no wobble when the bearing is in the clutch bell. Their is a product on the market called bearing seize that when applied will hold the outside race of the bearing to the clutch bell. I simply use blue loctite to seize the bearings race to the bell. Simply apply the loctite to the end of a Q-tip and gently wet the area of the clutch bell and install the bearings. To much loctite will push into the bearing and I am sure you know the result.
