Got them on - went to the locally owned towny store for suggestions, it was indeed the right part number, he suggested light emory cloth on the spindle.

Evidently bearings are of such close tolerances that the sanding gets rid of any extra dirt (and maybe a little metal). I had rubbed the spindle already with steal woolish type stuff so this was a bit of a surprise.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

My car rides so much more smoothly now!

I think I remember reading somewhere, where the out was accutally he inner, and the inner actually the outer. The suppliers books seemed to be screw up at the parts stores.

Yeah probably from me.

Autozone has the bearing numbers backwards in their system. they have the outers marked as inners and vise versa. What's even more screwed up is you have to order one and not the other.
