Once the castle nut is torqued properly with the right preload, the bearing probably won't spin. If you're concerned about it, a little dab of J.B. Weld on the spindle before you slide the hub on will give it plenty of sticky grip. Another way to keep the bearing race from turning would be a drop or two of green Loctite (sleeve and bearing retainer). Either of these methods is goin to make it a little bit interesting to get the hub off the next timer it's time to repack the bearings. Jerry
