Wheel Bearing Installation on Dana 44

[TheWhiteElephant]

Okay, I replaced the rotors, all bearings, and seals on the front end of my 1973 K20. I put in the inner bearing and seal on the hub and am trying to slide the hub/rotor onto the spindle. For the life of me this thing will not slide on.

The part numbers are the same, they're even both Timken bearings. The issue is that the inner bearing race seems to be a little too snug to slide over the spindle, surely because it is new. The sad part is that when I started, it almost went on instantly. I took it off just to make sure things were right, and now I ruined 2 new seals fighting with it.

Any tips or suggestions????
