To confirm Squee's statement: you do have to file a little (and I mean a little) off the hex shaft for the bearing to fit. Do just a very little at a time and test fit. It's better to file more off than the bearing to be too loose.

I too used lock-tite instead of nuts, but I didn't countersink the holes. Be careful to tighten the slipper well though; I had mine too loose (and I thought it was tight) and melted my first set of pads.
