The only way I see that this can go together correctly is for the stepped washer to go on the shaft first butting up against the shaft shoulder and with the larger OD face towards the journal bearing. Then the thrust bearing, the flat washer, oil shield and then the seal ring which fits inside the backing plate. With this stack up the step on the stepped washer acts as the spacer between itself and the flat thrust washer and prevents the thrust bearing from being clamped. The difference between the thickness of the step on the stepped washer and the thrust bearing determines the axial float. But judging from your pics it doesn't look like the step will fit inside the ID of the thrust bearing? Is the new thrust bearing identical to the original?
