Called Wilwood today. They said you must press off bearing I have(mine is to big for caliper plate) and replace with RP400 green bearing. They say the 400 bearing fits the caliper plate. Well one problem with that. The green bearing is smaller so if you slide in the axle it will not fit correctly. It would not fit properly at housing end. They said sorry no other options. What am I missing here? WTF??????

I attached these diagrams. This is the housing end I have. The other one shows the caliper mounting bracket. The bracket is machined so the bearing can fit it. My bearing is way to big to fit the bracket.
