Yeah I did end up using the old bearing but as I say the tolerances meant that it didn't really work. even with the second bearing on top you couldn't hit the face squarely because of the axle being in the way. Its one of those jobs where you need 3 set of hands to hold everything in place, hold the wheel and hit all with a hammer.
As I remember I ended on the with the opposite side of the wheel bottled in to the bike frame on the wrong side of the rear tringle and 3/4 other bearing on top of the new bearing to clear the axle and then using the hub bolt to tighten it down to seat the new bearing in place.
