Sorry about your failled attempt but nothing is lost..

I thing that you cannot put back the stud in place because you don't pull it in the axis of the bearing
so to achieve that you should build a little tool (basically a piece of steel with a hole in the middle) which is going to cover the bearing without touching the engine case( because your bearing is not well alligned yet).. The stud should enter the outer part of the bearing without a big effort unless it has been damaged.

I thought that the retrofit set had a bigger axis to prevent faillure ( The one I bought is bigger).

Keep in mind that so far you didn't dammage your engine and you can still fix the situation you are in, no rush, a lot of thinking, and worst case scenario would be to buy a new set and to not damage it learning from the présent situation.

can you still put a nut on you stud ?
