Pilot bearing replacement question

So I hit mine in with a socket and hammer. It made a tiny line on the front of the bearing from the socket impact. Will this impact performance or longevity in any way?

The bearing load is on the diameter, not the end. As long as you didn't mash the end into the diameter, you're OK.
