Sounds like the outer race is sliding in the hub, all the tightening in the
world won't fix that. You need a new hub or you can try gluing it or
knurling it.

Jon et al,
I don't think that is the case. The other side was loose in the hub, but I
replaced that with a NOS hub/bearing that just happened to appear on eBay at
the right time. The bearing on this side is new and my machinist didn't say
anything to me about it being a poor fit. It certainly was not as loose a
fit as it appears to be on the axle. I will get some of that locktite stuff
that was suggested to me and see if I can't get it to draw into the
hub/bearing with capilary action, however.
