[Vwdiesel] Left Front Wheel Locking Up...?

[Photo Bug]

I'm clueless on this.  I replaced the left axle shaft because of failing CV joint. I replaced the left front wheel bearing, just starting to grind and could be wobbled.  I torqued the axle nut to 175 ft/lb, but when I did that, the wheel locks up.  Loosen it a little and no problem.  OK, admittedly, the torque wrench I use is nowhere near the most expensive.  Is the wheel lockup because I have overtorqued it? The local machine shop removed the old wheel bearing assembly and re-installed the new wheel bearing.  Thanks to all!
