disc break conversion bearing issue

[ford49]

I just put the Tom's Bronco disc break conversion on. Every thing was nice and going together really well....Then, I put the hubs on and then the inner bearing nut on. I used my neat bearing socket. I tightened the nut down then it stopped! But the hub was still slightly loose. I pulled it off, checked everything and reviewed the instructions. All good. I put the hub back on, same deal. Basically the nut is bottoming out on the inner threads before it completely tightens the hub. I could still spin the hub. And then I did the passenger's side and the same issue. What is going on? What am I missing or what did I do wrong. TB said they have never heard of that happening.

Bearing races installed in the hub?

yup. Totally confusing to me. Everything looks right.

Have any pictures of the spindle and the hub? That would help a ton!
