Default UHMW, 3/4 inch diameter stretch to 7/8 (22 mm) inch diameter?

How about using a heat gun? Will a short 1/4 inch piece of 3/4 inch
inner diameter UHMW tubing stretch to nearly 7/8 inches?

Thanks.

I would like to press a slice of UHMW tubing over a 22 mm outer
diameter bearing. Unfortunately McMaster Carr does not have 7/8
inner diameter tubing, they go from 3/4 to 1.

How about drilling out a 3/4 id to 7/8? Or using a round file?
