OK thanks guys for all your help it gave me a lot more things to check out. But here is what I think I found. Going from the outside of the wheel you first have the mounting flange that holds the axles in. Next you have the outer seal. Then next is a thin (approx 1/8") ring, followed by the bearing and then the outer race. This ring did not come with the new bearing, and is not even shown in a drawing I had a dealer fax me. It as a thin rim on it that goes just inside the race. It fits perfectly into the race capping the bearing. When I pulled it apart I don't think it was mounted this way. So when I put it back together I did not have it in position. This kept the seal from having anything to fit tightly against so the bearing moved back into the seal. We we pressed the whole thing off, and put the ring in its proper position it fit perfectly and the play was gone. I now wonder if it had been replaced in the past and not put back together right. The bearing I replaced was a Timkin, I don't know what brand the factory used. Let me know if this makes sense or not. After a 50 mile trip all looks ok. Now to replace the clutch before the kid takes it back to colleg
