 The wheel bearing thing is bothering me. This simply does not happen and if it does there are a few reasons and they are all bad.

Either
1. You didn't tighten it in the first place.
2. The race wasn't pressed in completely and wiggled in to place during turning.
3. Your inner bearing is disintegrated and you are tightening against metal fragments.
4. Your castle nut was wrong or there was not a cotter pin installed.
5. If you replaced the spindle, the spindle could have been poorly heat treated and the threads stretched.


Take it back off please, inspect throughly the inner and outer races and rollers, if all is OK grease and put it back on, borrow an inch pound torque wrench and tighten it to specifications.
