Check to see ho much the insert protrudes from the shell. The insert may be too tall for the shell, usually its the other way around and the shell is worn and the insert sits flush. But your shell could be thinner than usual.

I think you reading it wrong. 8mm bolt or nut don't mean the socket size its the thread diameter. 8 = 14-18
10= 18-22.
