Wheel bearing
Ok, First a little background. I am building up a ford 9" to swap into my 90 bronco that I blew the stock 8.8 differential up in. I am jjust about done with the set-up and pressed the axle bearing onto the first shaft and tried installing it, when I realized that I put the bearing on backwards.
Well, the only way that I know of to remove and turn the bearing around involves cracking the retainer ring and pressing it off. Now the problem, I can't find anyone who caries just the retainer ring, or even has a part number for it, without buying the whole set. I got it with a Timken Set 20 but really don't want to spend the 30 + shipping on setup I don't need all of. So far Summit said that if I call Monday that they will call up Timken direct but does anyone else have any other ideas in the mean time?
Thanks for any help.

Taper roller with separate seal. I did the other one the right way and it goes right together.
