After some digging I noticed the Bentley service manual describes using a 3420 tool to install the hub/ bearing. This forum posting describes it's use, but seems like everyone says is not needed.

Snap-On has the 3420 tool for $14.90. Not sure about availability/ delivery time.

I've also found thread where others have same problem as me. My conclusion is cheap Chinese parts?

I am also seeing this MFG's bearings 1J0598477 on ebay as new. Not sure I want to place part this on my car.
