In general the rotating part of a bearing (on the axle shaft in
this case) is a press fit while the stationary part (in the rear
axle housing) is a push fit. Tolerances on bearings are quite
tight, but the axle housing could be a different matter. Even when
the outer race of the bearing is a bit on the loose side it should
not spin in the axle housing. If it does it is worn and/or with
debris inside. If a bearing has spun, it is often sufficient to
replace the bearing and using some Locktide between outer race and
housing. This will however make disassembly in the future more
difficult.<br>

<div>One possible explanation for why the factory design included
the clamping of the bearing might be that they could not rely
entirely on the bearing manufacturer & the hub manufacturer
to hold the tolerances required for a proper press fit of the
bearing. If the bearing O.D. was a little under spec & the
diameter of the recess in the hub was a little over spec. the
bearing would be free to move about. Thus the clamping &
the specification on the amount of clamping.</div>

Ball/needle/roller bearings can only spin when the there
is debris <br>
inside the bearing from e.g. a broken cage,
balls/needles/rollers, diff <br>
that block the bearing causing the outer cage to turn.
This happens <br>
mainly because people drive there cars until the bearing
starts to break <br>
up, well into or beyond the rumbling stage.<br>

<div class="MsoNormal">I don’t think it’s that absolute.
In my case it was a year-old bearing that spun with no
apparent damage to the bearing other than having the
outside buffed to a high sheen. The operation remains
perfectly smooth.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">Personally, I’m persuaded that the
act of clamping the inside and outside, per the manual,
is preferable to shrinking or driving or gluing the
bearing in, leaving the spacer loose and hoping for the
best.</div>
