Took it all apart again today. Turns out the inner bearing outer race was just
slightly loose within the hub. When installing the bearing it was tight at
first, but when it was driven home it became loose enough to move it in and
out (slightly) with just finger pressure! So the old bearing probably spun at
some point or it just wore out. BAD HUB!
What I did: I took a heavy center punch and made eight sets of indents in the
surface where the bearing fits into the hub. This created a small distortion
in the surface (small volcano shape) allowing the bearing to fit snug. Will
this work long term? Time will tell. If not I will need to buy a new hub.
