Check out how I pressed it in. The tooth thing is off a tiny bit, and im not sure if its really important or not. Other than that its pressed in fine. Here is a picture

I recommend pressing it back out and re-pressing it.

Here's my job.



Notice the locking tab is squarely in the notch, and the back of the rotor fits flush with the sleeve.



Your photo is unclear but you should aim for as perfect a fit as possible.

That little tab is the only thing keeping the bearing from spinning inside the rotor. I think it would be pretty important to get it just right.

Good luck

So I should press it out and repress it back in? My boss said that if i do that it will go in looser than it is now.

I would have to agree with your boss. That why I'm going to say that when you take it back out (which you should) see how it fits if it's loose at all replace it. Unfortunately this is one of those things you have to line up perfect the first time.

I say get a new bearing...press it correctly this time. I spun a bearing that was installed just like that one, the pieces from the metal shavings messed up my engine.
