Should the outer front wheel bearing easily slide onto the end of the stub axle when both are new? I measured the bearing inner diameter to be about 0.0005" larger, but this doesn't seem to be enough clearance to slide it on by hand. I would like to adjust the hub (10ft-lbs then back off 1-1/2 to 2 flats) prior to installing the seal, but am concerned I will not be able to accurately set or remove the outer bearing if it is worked in place by tightening the slotted nut and washer.
FYI, the inner bearing measures 0.001" larger, and I have no problem sliding it on. Bearings are Timken and stub axle is from TRF.
