I know that some cars has a larger carrier, and that some has 
contemplated turning their carriers down to take a more common bearing.

The 1625 was actually a slightly loose fit on my carrier, and that was 
probably due to the old bearing rotating on the carrier.

I punched a ring of marks around the carrier and applied some Loc Tite 
before pressing the bearing on to the carrier.

Is the part number, 1625, perhaps the ID of the bearing, 1.625"?

Cheers,
Thomas
