One important thing to realize, if you have the nuts for the wheel bearings too tight, you will burn them up. too loose, big problems as well.
If they overheat at highway speeds they tend to "weld" themselves to the stub axle, so if you had fun with it the first time, "you ain't seem nothing yet". You may need a cut-off tool to get them off if they do weld in place.
Hope you greased the bearings real good as well. Oh and if you replace bearings, you are supposed to extract and replace those inner races as well!~
