Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 front bearings (ball to roller?)

I know how they go together, just didn't fit well at all. went back to So cal Ford in PHX, and they couldntt match anything up. gave me a new set that fit better, but still not perfect. even tried pressing the inner race in farther to see if that would help, but no satisfaction.
Tried shimming the area between where the seal stopped on the inboard edge of the race to get the gap closed, but no good. Then swapped in another hub to see if that would work, and it was the same.
Don't have a straight axle anymore, but I went through a few bearings till i took it out all together.
