I'm not sure what your problem is. Are you telling us that part of the old bearing is still in the flywheel? If that is the case, you need to get the rest of the old bearing out. You may need to rent a rent a flywheel bearing puller and a clutch driver tool to get the old bearing out and the new one installed.
You should coat the pilot bore hole in the crankshaft with a small amount of lube grease or lithium base grease before inserting the new bearing. Note that the bearing goes into the hole in the crankshaft, which is further in than the hole in the flywheel.
After re-reading your post, is this the problem you are trying to solve?

if its like my 94 4.0 pull the flywheel and then get it out. The bearing in mine can be pressed/pushed in from either side!
So when installing be very careful not to push into the detent built into the back of the crank. just put it in flush with the face of the hole.

if you pull the flywheel you might want to consider replacing the rear main seal...
