I recently got a black ops hub and the stock driver broke it was unsealed so I ordered a sealed driver and recieved it yesterday. When I slide the new driver in it doesn't go in all the way. Help me out!! What do I do?

Are you sure the sealed driver is compatible with the unsealed hub?
Usually when putting a cassette driver in it doesn't want to go in easily. You have to spin it while pushing it in so the pawls can find their way into ratchet ring.

And the hub is sealed but the stock driver was unsealed?

Is there a lip on the axle for loose bearings to rest against?
If so, you will not be able to make it work without a new axle too.

It's a semi-sealed hub, meaning the sealed bearing you see is the only sealed bearing & the rest of the hub is unsealed so you'd still need the unsealed driver to fit it.
Best course of action is to replace the sealed driver with the unsealed one, make sure you have all the old ball bearings & put them in the driver correctly, then put it back in the hub. Might be best to take it to a shop, I've worked on these at the shop I work at & they're weird.
