So I do the Capri brake swap on my festy a couple weeks ago. New rotors, bearings and seals. Went together good. Did not preload them just tightened my axle nut and called in a win. I decided to check them today and they feel like a minor loose rear wheel bearing. Anything that can fix this? I reused both spacers.

Before giving up on tight pressed on bearings drive the car up and down the driveway to seat them. That should loosen them up and everything will be fine with the factory spacers.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.
