so, I got 2 bearing kits from a canadian supplier. I take the offendings wheel off, and clean the hub up with gasoline and brakecleen. I pack the inner bearing, place it into the hub, put the seal on, and procede to put the hub back on the spindle. except for a problem, the bearing center piece is a few thousandths of an inch smaller than the spindle. So, after wrecking the seal, I get the bearing off with a puller. It had made a rub mark on the shoulder where it was supposed to mount. I opened the other bearing, and without packing it, put it onto the spindle, same story. Both inner bearings didn't fit, and both inner bearings were made in India branded SKF. The smaller outer bearings fit perfectly... Those were made in Germany. Now, I'm in negotiations to get a german made set of inner bearings made by SKF with the vendor...

What was your SKF part number for the inner? It should be 32008X
