Outer bearing won't go on spindle :(

Stuff like this always seems to hold me up. I'm finishing up putting my front end back together after the new ball joints, etc., and I went ahead and got new front wheel bearings for my 2WD 3500. The drivers side went on fine, the outer wheel bearing went right in when I turned the nut. But on the other side it doesn't want to go on. The inner bearing went on fine. I can the outer bearing about 1/8th of an inch on the spindle and then it just doesn't want to go on any more. I've tried pushing it on by hand and by tightening the nut but no luck. Any idea why its doing this?

Nevermind, couple of little rust spots I didn't notice under the grease were causing it to bind up. Its all good now
