[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 411629, member: 20945"] The metal is shiny on the axle next to the hub, if you didn't polish it then I would say the hub is not fully seated. The fact the nut barely made it on enough to put in a cotter pin tells me there are problems. You should never hammer on bearings, races, or seals and if you did, take everything apart and start over. It won't cost much to do it over compared to hiring the work done and once you have the skill it will stay with you. You are right to get out the measuring equipment. [/QUOTE]
