For some years, the required bearing assembly is extremely hard to find, yet needed.

In addition to what Dale (Bored&Stroked) says above, you need to make sure the six-hole flange at the REAR end of the torque tube is also properly indexed. There is a slot (in addition to the six BOLT holes) for oil drainage in the torque tube rear flange that must line-up with the additional hole (SEE where pencil is pointing) in the 'banjo' center section next to the bottom BOLT hole.
