Well I hope you guys had a better day than me.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I had built the hubs and were ready to fit them to the car. When pressing the new axles into the captive outer bearing (installed into the hub) I did notice that the RHS bearing took a little more pressure on the press than the left but it didn't feel too bad and when the spacer tube, inner bearing and the flange went on, it rotated nicely and didnt seem to be a problem.

This morning I tightented the nuts. 250 / 300 / 350 ft lbs. Left side, all went perfect, but right side, the tension wrench wouldn't click at 350, it seemed to want to keep tightening.

I stopped to check things out and found that the hub had siezed up and I couldn't rotate the disc anymore.

I can't explain why, it's exactly the same as the other side, but something is amiss.
