Default 64 Rear Axle Bearing Retainer Collar

I did a search on this item and did not find an answer to my issue. On my 64 Lemans, I pressed on new RW 507 rear axle bearings.. I did not press on the retaining collar because the new collar is 5/8" wide and the original collar is 3/8" wide. Before installing the new collar I want to learn if there will be a clearance issue between the wider retaining collar and the axle seal inside the axle tube. Looks like there is plenty of clearance, but I want to know for sure from those that have been there and done that. As always, I appreciate the help.

The wider collar is what I've seen most of the time, you'll be fine.
