Is it possible to press the bearing too far down the axle shaft? recently tried doing this and the bearing would seize up and not rotate once it was tightened in and I think the bearing race didnt fully seat. Any idea what could've caused this?

HEY DAN, WHAT ABOUT the rubber square gasket before the Oil Seal you tapped in? Did you not change the rubber before the new Oil Seal at the bearing?
