    If its not in the car it should spin freely. before it went on did u happen to notice if the bearing was spinning ok? i think mine maybe a little differant im not sure they could be the same. a regular prob with CB's is shoving them on too tight, that is to say too far down the spline and beyond where they are meant to stop, even a mm or 2 can stuff it. did u use a wheel puller to get the old one off? if u have a wheel puller maybe pull the new one and try again. whlie the new one os off hold in your hand and give the centre a spin and see if its seized, it may have been a defective part from the start. just remember to keep mark the spline where it came off so you can re-align them. cheap enough to check only takes 3 minutes

    Please provide us an image to review of what you are talking about - I have done this several times and everything is fine and no weird friction or what not - perhaps you didn't press the bearing on far enough?

    Did you put the dust shield on backwards?

    The coupler or dust shield was still on there from the old one, which is what was causing it to bind up.

    New guibo and center support bearing are finally installed and the ole' M30 feels better than ever
