Wheel bearing Update

I pulled the noisy bearing apart last night.  Well,
not all the way apart but close.

The Race looked like it had slid outward and was
rubbing against the retaining washer.  I pushed it
back into place, and tightened everything up.  So far,
no noise when breaking and now wheel wobble etc....

I think what happened is I may have tightened the
thing down too much the first time and that caused the
bearing to compress and slide beyond the edge of the
race.  I hope I didn't screw anything up so I'm
listening and checking twice a day.  If I start
getting more noise, I either need an new hub or stub
axle.
