the seal will be bigger as it needs to be pressed in. It should only be slightly bigger like a 1/16th in diameter, not physically bigger

it has been a while since I changed one you may need to machine a tool to keep the inside straight whilst being pressed in
Its way to big to press in. Theres no way it can be put in without destroying the seal

Maybe the person who owned it before you changed it, got one at a salvage yard from a different year but it still bolts up correctly. Ive had dozens of customers who bought boneyard parts only to find out that while they bolt onto the vehicle, the years are different
