still got wheel bearing probs

I have got the bearing carrier on to the rear uprights and am now trying to get the wheel bearings right, however I don't seem to be able to get them set right. IT seems any way I put them in creates friction against the seal.

Can anyone describe the way they are meant to go in? attached are the components of the bearings.

thanks

On mine just put bearings in, taper towards the middle and pressed seal over, I did not push all the way down, just slightly in from flush.

When they are tightened up expect the wheel to bind.... this is normal just feels wrong until you have a 100 miles under your belt.

In your archive the shaft looks like its out a bit, have you got them the wrong way around, one is shorter than the other?
