Unhappy Help with old BB T72)F SERIES WHEEL ISSUE?

Okay i have a old T76 single ceramic ball bearing turbo that needs a new exhaust wheel(apex seal damage)but according 2 the people i talked 2 they dont make that exhaust wheel anymore(Q trim)so i went ahead and ordered a F68 and got my .96AR housing machined 2 accept the new wheel but for my surprise the wheel wont fit my CHRA,i looked at my old Qtrim wheel and at the new one to find out that the area were the bearing rides on(the thicker part of the shaft)is like a quarter inch longer and it hits the ball bearing(on the F68 Shaft)so what the hell i do now?Do i need 2 buy a new ball bearing carrier for the F series Wheel?(dont have money for it)
Can i use a journal bearing carrier? if yes can you guys get me a part#?
Please help me before i go crazy!Thanks

The q trim is in fact discontinued and no the F1-68 won't just bolt up. Aside from that if it's a ball bearing center section the chra has to be rebalanaced whenever you replace a wheel. I would send that thing in to Turbonetics and they can quote you out on a replace and rebalance price
