Thought..., find out the OD of the existing Input Shaft, then beg, borrow, or steal, some Calibrated Gauge Pins that are the correct size and two others one larger and one smaller. Get the measurements from the OD of the Input Shaft, or from the Pilot Bearing Spec Sheet, and fit the pins in the installed Pilot Bearing to determine the correct size. This will give you two things, one is the OD of the Input Shaft and the ID of the Pilot Bearing... and will they fit... !
You may have needed a new input shaft and it was replaced as needed, and the end needs to be sized, or you may have the wrong Pilot Bearing ! (Captain Obvious) !
With the Gauge Pins you can get an idea of where you are, without taking anything apart !
Also, if you get a new Pilot Bearing, take the measurement of the Input Shaft with you and verify the ID of the Pilot Bearing !
Sorry if this appear to be plain-Jane in methodology but it will give you a starting point.

Another thought, How does the Clutch Alignment Tool fit the Pilot Bearing ?
Is the end of the Alignment Tool damaged at all ?
If there is a tight fit on the Alignment Tool and the Pilot Bearing end fits snugly, you may get some idea of the Pilot Bearing ID ?
