Default High Torque Bearing Kit

From Baker Drivetrain

http://www.bakerdrivetrain.com/dialu...BearingKit.htm

The 34091-85 inner bearing race has been used on Big Twins since 1985. The inner primary bearing rides on this race. By design, this race press-fits onto the transmission mainshaft. This system works fine for stock motors. 100 HP+ motors will make this bearing walk on the mainshaft. If it walks inboard, it will damage the maindrive gear seal and cause a transmission oil leak. If it walks outboard, it will cause a primary oil leak. Our high torque bearing kit eliminates this condition. Kit includes a precision honed bearing and seal.

High Torque Bearing Kit | 189-56

I have a 99 FXDL 100+ HP
On my inner primary the bearing (which was a very tight press fit) is between two snap rings, I cannot see how the bearing could move at all. Is there something I am missing?
I am repairing a transmission oil leak that started when I switched to synthetic oil. I also found out that the bearing race was split (I believe this is do to the main shaft nut being torqued too much). Has anyone else had this problem?
