you can kinda see how the non abs hub is a lil bigger
is it at all possible to eather
#1 mill down the non abs hub so that the ring will go on
#2 switch the bearings

IMO if you don't feel like buying a new assembly from the dealer (it's very $$) then try to get the bearing info from your current hub and get someone to press it in for you.
just an FYI the dealer will sell the entire unit...they don't sell just the bearing...so you'll need to hit up a bearing place.
don't even mess with an used bearing since it's a waste of time to do it since a new bearing can't be that expensive.
try to get bearings made in japan, germany, us. avoid the korean, chinese, indian ones.
good luck.

after doing a little checking, there is no bearing sold separately and several aftermarket companies have discontinued the hub assemblies.
the OE one really isn't that expensive, at least not compared to some hub assemblies (I.E. my minivan costs 2x as much)

OEMs bolt right in without a press. Just disassemble the brakes, take off the dust cap in the middle, take off the cotter key & use a 30mm socket to remove wheel bearing hub assembly and put the new ones on.
edit: *note: be sure to wipe down hub with gasoline or xylene to get manufacturer's oil (to prevent rust) off.
