The new bearing is correct.  The old one is not.  Check the bearing housing
to make sure parts of the old bearing aren't still inside there.

Use never seize when you put the new retainer in, it will come out much
easier next time around.

If you're this far into this job, and haven't thrown at least one tool
across your garage, you're doing real good..
