Gimbal Bearing Tight

[Beachcraft 1]

1977 Mercruiser 228, 350 GM motor

Hello,

Installed a gimbal bearing. Used the proper driver, did not damage the races, yet very tight and won't turn freely. It appears seated up against the grease seal and grease is getting to the bearing. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
