The bearing should be snug in the cutlass. While it is hard to describe snug once it is in you should not be able to rotate it easily by hand.
You can cut the bearing down with a hacksaw. It might be easier if you put a wooden dowel, plastic pipe or something in it that prevents damaging the rubber while cutting it. Try measuring the ID and OD accurately. The only really strange bearing issue I saw was that someone left a bearing in but removed the rubber part. Then tried to put a new cutlass bearing inside the other one. It almost worked but confused the next owner.

Message-ID: <CANYJqC9UMOKM6wDW8L_5bTq4Mo6wnF1pf76pBMspXRa=+wa...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" As the heading says my new bearing has arrived. It slid right in with minimal resistance. It is also 1/2 inch too long. Is any of this an issue. Should I cut it down to fit? Do I need to add some sort of glue or epoxy? Or will the two set screws be enough?
