Put in new bearings on my pass side front and wheel locked up. Did everything normal, packed bearings, didnt have anything that bothered me putting it together. Any ideas what i did wrong?

Spacer was in there.
What bolt? Axle nut? It wasnt that tight. Went to 100lbs because thats all my torque wrench will read then just a bit furtherComment

Yeah, I've put 150 on them. They didn't seem to mind at all.
Forget the seal and all the grease shot out?Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

New seals. It was literally less then a mile away. I guess after reading there are different size spacers to adjust preload?
Where the hell would you find those? Much less in a kit to do it by the bookComment

Uhh, if you rebuilt them you just use the spacers that are with them. Unless they got damaged somehow.
If you do new ones you have a huge headache or a big bill to get them done "properly".Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

I feel like a veteran needs to do a write up with plenty of pictures because there is little info out there and what is has crappy drawingsComment

Falken I would venture to say that your spacer is stuck to the old bearing with a little grease. Time to do a little dumpster diving. You really want to find that spacer,hopefully you didnt put the trash cans at the curb yet.Some people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-

I was wondering if you "mixed up" the spacers. They are specific to each hub, and CANNOT be switched.
It does sound like there is no spacer in the hub, for it to lock up in 1 block!Dan
