My question is that I can’t install the bearing that goes on the belt side of the armature. Like it literally won’t even go down when I try to install it. I might contact Ametek, the company that made this motor to see how I can install the second bearing. | ||

Ametek isn't going to be of much help. Does the belt side bearing slide up and down at all or no? Bearings are usually press fitted onto the armature without the intent of replacement in mind. | ||

When I go to install it, the bearing sits crooked and doesn’t fully go on the armature. | ||

 A bearing puller/presser would be needed in this situation. These are assembled with pressurized machinery, so you need to have a lot of strength exerted on the parts to get them on. A human simply is not capable of the force needed to push it on evenly. You can get good results by crafting a vice and holder out of wood blocks and then using a drill press to crank it down. | ||

I forgot to write it in my post, the specific name for the special tool used to press or pull apart ball-bearings is called an "Arbor Press". The one in this photo found in google can put down 3 tons of force on any poor hapless part that comes under its ratchet.
