Be careful when ordering your bearing. That bearing is advertised as a .750 inch bearing but has a .757 inch bore. I ran into the same issue when I ordered a Borgeson bearing. They said the plain steel bearings run .007 inch over while the stainless run true at .750 inch. The stainless bearings run more than twice the cost, go figure!
