Installing a new S&S inner bearing race and having trouble getting it on the shaft in right position. I think I might have gotten one that has not been milled correctly. I can only get it to go on the shaft about 5/16 away form the sprocket shaft. Any thoughts?

There is a special tool for removal and installation. I strongly recommend using one.

When mic the race I am getting about 24.98mm on the inboard side and 24.11mm on the out board side. I am no machinist and know that the race is supposed to be tapered but is that to much. The shaft is about 25.03mm
