What I've noticed (on this first side anyway....)
the outer seal was just barely riding on the edge of
the hub.
I measured the distance from the flinger to the shaft
end (spec 5.74"-5.76") and it was at 5.92" and yet was snug
(but not touching) the back of the bearing housing.
Does this suggest that the p.o. had driven the housing/bearing
on the axle too far?
After looking at the spare axles I have here.... I notice a tapered
area where the flinger rides and the inner bearing polished area.
If it's on too far it explains why it's so tight on the axle.
What's the best way to pull the housing off the axle without
damaging the housing?

> All the workshop manuals are unhelpful when it comes to reassembling the
rear bearings. After fitting the needle roller bearing, inner oil seal
(backwards, so it allows grease out and stops water getting in) and outer
bearing, check the flinger is a tight fit on the shaft (under no
circumstances must it be welded into place), slip it onto the shaft and use
the assembled bearing housing to push it on further. This bearing housing
should be knocked on far enough such that when the hub is put into place
there is space for the washer and enough threads exposed so the big nut can
be started. After fitting things like brake backplate, outer oil seal plates
etc then simply tightening the hubnut to around 100 ft lbs pushes everything
to the right place - the last job is to move the flinger slightly so it
doesn't catch on the bearing housing. Job done. - although it is recommended
that the hub nut is retorqued a few times within a few hundred miles, the LH
in particular is prone to working loose.
