Geoff are you able to check for a bend in the axle whilst still in the housing? I would of thought it would have to be out and on some sort of spinning alignment machine or something (bit of technical speak for ya there... )
I fitted a Terrain Tamer Kit, it included a bearing, seal and collar - I dont have ABS. I was assisted to fit mine by another 'Mechanical Fitter' and collectively we have over 75 years trade experience, so I'd say we fitted it correctly and didn't damage the seals when we did so - they aren't that special.
Jake, we can check for a bent axle by removing the brake drum and setting up a dial indicator on the wheel hub flange and turning it, if the axle is bent the dial indicator will show this as the hub flange wont run true. If the hub doesn't run true, I'd strip it down and set it up in a pair of Vee blocks as shown here to get a true measure of the bend -

I will replace mine with genuine parts and sacrafice the $75 bearing thats in there now as I dont have time to piddle about with it and cant afford a failure later in the year.
