Jerry - you are correct. Upon further investigation, I installed them backwards. The wide opening needs to go on the spindle which allows the balls to ride in the race.
If you install the other way, the metal cage hits the race causing squealing and heat.
I could have sworn this is how they came apart. I just bought this truck, and it was missing the kotter pins on the front castle nuts.
