I had my cases powder coated and never pulled the bearings out and everything was fine. Just used a o ring pick to remove the rubber.

Same here. Plug the bearings good and you're golden.

Go to Loew's and get a couple of packets of 8mm stainless flat washers too. This will keep the powder coat from scratching or cracking when you tighten down the screws. Only 10NM is needed to tighten in a "star" fashion.
