changed rear hubs, having issues, need advice

[Redlyne_mr2]

As the topic says, i removed my rear hubs, brought them into the dealer to have new wheel bearings put in. I installed the hubs with the fresh wheel bearings tonight and when I tried to rotate the hub it wouldnt budge. The passenger side axle night was tight and I was able to move that side but I couldnt get the driver side to move at all. Once I loosed the axle nut on the drive side it rotated freely. I removed the calipers to ensure that they were not causing anything to lock up. Car was also in neutral.

So my question is, whats causing the hub to lock up?
Wheel bearing installed incorrectly?
Do the axles need to be put into the hub a certain way?

Thanks for the help

How'd you fix it?

is this what you did the other night with shawdoz? And did you pull the whole hub out?

Ya Shadowz and I swapped the hubs, one of the dust rings off the old hub was stuck to the axle so when I installed the new hub there were 2 dust rings on instead of 1 which was causing the bind. Removed the old dust ring and reinstalled, everything is in tip top shape.
