basic knowledge im sure.

putting the bearing back onto the axle, is the bearing (large) suppost to go onto the axle easy, or is it suppost to be beaten on? i would assume it is suppost to just slide over.

would my assumption be correct? maybe i just got the wrong size?

Depends on what type of bearing it is.

A wheel bearing should slide on easily, it's usually only held on by excess grease....
