From memory the diameter of the gear cluster is 16mm at the base. If yours is 16 then I can only assume you've got the wrong bearing.
I had a worn out Italian LI cluster that was 15.7mm that I had to get re-sleeved, but I've never heard of one being too big to fit into the bearing before.

The bearing is supposed to be 16mm ID, did you replace the cluster track?
Is it perhaps a little over size too? Maybe compressing the rollers...
