You may know I publised a threadoutlining the removal of the rear wheel bearing. Anyway, I am in the process of installing the new one and I'm having some difficulty. The replacement bearing went in fairly easily. I reinstalled the e-brake ring and bearing plate as needed. I lightly pushed the hub in and used the threaded rod tool backwards to pull it into place. I then inserted the stub axle and castle nut. When I put a decent amount of torque, not the full 200+, the hub got tighter and stopped moving all together. I can not turn the hub by hand. I haven't put the caliper or rotor on yet so I know the brakes are not hanging up.

Is this normal and will it settle once everything is installed and driven? Or is something wrong?
