I am having a problem locating the right wheel bearing set for my mwc 9 inch. Everywhere I have read is telling me the timken set20 or the skf br20. The problem is the lock collar is to wide it keeps hitting a lip on the inside of the axle tube. It hits just enough that it keeps the axle from sitting flush. The assembly is also seated fully. The part number on the bearing and seal say it is part of the set20 bearing set but the lock collar is to big. I have attached pics of the lock collar, the lip in the axle tube, and the original lock collar on the axle.
Any help would be appreciated.

My lock collar is 0.625, looks like the one on the right. The lock collar/spacer for my reluctors is somewhere close to an inch.
Unfortunately I can't help more than that. Where is your seal in the pic? Is that why you're taking it apart?
Good luck man, I am really starting to hate rearends.

Yes that is the size of my original lock collar also .625 mm. I didnt take a pic of the seal but it is the same, the bearings also the same just don't know why the lock collars different. Yes the inside of my wheel had gear fluid all over it the seal was shot. Did your bearing set come from strange? Yes its becoming a pain and i've been researching all day and even called timken but they have no data for the lock collars sizes which is hard to believe.
