This is the best advice so far. I have made progress, yet it's still not fitting on like it should.

The spindle is not bent or rusty, just too damn big in diameter to push the hub assembly on.

Sometimes a new seal needs a little extra force to get the seal lips over the shoulder on the axle. (Some brands of seals are stiffer than others.)

Did you grease the surface where the seal rides?

Whew! Done.

What a pain, but yes, I did have some lube on the spindle, earlier, but not this time. I ended up doing the emory paper thing and using a cold pack, it's on.

Thanks everyone.

UPDATE

Oh what a difference the other side was.

The hub/rotor came off just as soon as I removed the clamping nut. I did have to cold pack the spindle to reinstall, but honestly, a piece of cake, relatively.
