wheel bearing problems

I can't get my inner wheelbearings to set down far enough. the wheel seal is hitting the bearing, and there is nothing inbetween the race and the hub. Has anyone else had this problem and how should I solve it? Thanks,
Kevin

BFH? just kidding...kinda

#1 guess would be wrong bearing/seal set, but I expect you've allready driven the race back out and compared the old stuff to the new stuff.

Does it feel like it is bottoming?

How are you installing it, and have you done this vehicle before?

What YM is the truck?

its out of a 78 bronco, and I haven't done this yet, its the for my sas. they look the same to the old stuff, but it looks like the old bearing did this too the old seal. I got new bearings again from a different store, and they gave me the same ones. I am driving the races in with a bearing race driver, and they are definately bottomed
