So I just picked up a 1997 GMC jimmy for my winter beater. I decided to fix it up now so it doesn't break down in the middle of February. Smart right?

Here is the issue I'm working on the rear end its a 7.6 Ten bolt. I pulled the axle seal and wheel bearing. When I went to install the new bearing I went to drive it in and one small hit with the hammer it fell right it place. If I pull hard enough I can pull it right back out and if I push hard enough I can put it right back in. Now before you say its the wrong bearing the stock part # is DB59722 and the one I installed is #1563TAV

I'm a bit confused here.
