Sometimes Emory cloth and a file will do wonders to clean up any ridges in the hub and on the spindle. I had a small ridge on the spindle that would not let my bearing seat square. Knocked it down, smoothed it out. But you have to maintain the torque on the spindle nut. Jack it up and check for loose bearing with the tire on. Never had a problem since then.
