pack from the wide side of the bearing, until in starts to squeeze out the other side. Rotate until it is packed all around...then coat the outside a little.

First and foremorst, mega thanks to Paul, without whose help God only knows what would have happened.

New High Score for Dumb!

I was smart enough to realize something was really wrong when I took it out for the first test drive, which is fortunate, because I wasn't smart enough to realize there was supposed to be an inner bearing on the back side of the new rotor and it turns out that's pretty important. Doh!

So did you destroy the new rotor? How about the spindle?

Spindle is %100 fine. Cut a small grove into the back of the rotor since the grinding was, uh, the rotor rubbing on a bolt. Fortunately it was very shallow on a brand new rotor so the pad will probably just "hone" it down. Nothing too tragic, I drove less than a mile at very slow speed. It was so obviously wrong that even Sean would have noticed.
