you need to put a large socket 36mm or bigger in back when your pressing it back in. if it made it in the front of the bearing thats your problem!

Why would the rear inner bearing race be smaller than the front?

That is improbable... I have worked on a lot of Honduhs and never seen that before in my life.

It sounds like you made a noob mistake when replacing the bearing and did not support the inner race from the back side when installing.

it's pretty rare that you can remove a honda hub without the outer race being stuck to it. You've got nice new 5.9's, put new bearings in. and like someone else mentioned, support the inner race when pressing the hub into the new bearing.

they have to be pressed in. when i got my 5.9 they sent me hubs that had to be milled down they swore they were for DA but when i measured them and gave them info they asked for them back and sent me them again properly milled

If im reading this correctly i think your having the same problem i just had. DSS make 2 different hubs one for stock civic spindles which requires a smaller wheel bearing. The wheel bearing has a smaller i.d. and smaller o.d. on the civic hub/spindle. If you have integra of si hubs your going to need the bigger hub that DSS makes because you wont be able to cross reference a big bearing o.d.(for the integra spindles) with a small bearing i.d(for the civic hubs) to make those hubs fit your integra spindles

If you are putting DA hubs in a DA, you need DA wheel bearings. On mine, the hub was a hair too large on the last lip, so when I pressed it together the hub was binding on the spindle. but that doesnt seem to be your issue

The front inner bearing race is just pressed/stuck onto the hub... They always do that. Usually cutting them off is the only way to remove them, but since you have new DSS hubs and need new bearings there is really no reaon for you to mess with it.
