Wheel Bearing Help!

The wheel axle bearing is a sealed housing with plastic sides.

The problem is the new bearing reaches the end of the shaft but the bearing appears to need to be in the grove on the back of the end plate. otherwise the drum and wheel stick out.

Do I have the wrong bearing or do I need a machine shop to press it into the groove on the end plate?

Thanks!

Take it to a machine shop and get it pressed on all the way. Some repair garages also can do it for you.
