BOP rear axle question
For those of you that have worked on the Buick, Olds and Pontiac 10 bolt rear ends I have a question. When you install new outer axle bearings do you press them all the way on till they fully seat on the flange? That's what I did and I'm having some interference issues with my Right Stuff detailing signature rear brake conversion. Now when I install the rotor it comes in contact with the caliper bracket. Trying to decide if I need to modify the bracket for more clearance or move the bearing inboard a bit which sounds wrong.

Does this have the bolt in axle ends? I've got a 72 Olds, and the bearing actually presses past flush, with the seal protruding a bit.
Here's a couple pictures since I already have them uploaded. (I'm running Kore brackets and c5 calipers though)
Can see the seal sticks out slightly past the flange
