1, yes. final diameter must match that required for the original stub axle on the crown. also remember that it is a sliding fit, not a press fit between stub and bearing. heat and shrink could be a way to fit it.
2, stub axle need not be that hard, since the inner bearing race is what takes the wear, not the stub.
3a, need to at least have the same bearing area, and the more material you have (for the same interference fit) will make it harder to get them off.
3b, well, you don't want them to come off. bearing heat could be an issue.. just from a thermal expansion point of view, causing the sleeves to come loose (with the pounding they will get from potholes etc). maybe this is not a prob as heat will not be that great..
not necessarily if done with a bit of thought. how thick will this ring be?
