Loose bearing

I have a 2002 pit bull and i replaced the bearings in the rear wheel. Upon installing the left outer ( i have two in the belt side ) one, it is not even a snug fit. I can pull it in and out with two fingers. The replacement bearings came straight from Big Dog and all numbers match to what was in there. The old bearing i pulled out needed a puller to be taken out. Am i missing something?

Nope. Hub has got wear. I got the same issue on my 04 Pit. Loctite 680 or 690 should hold the new bearing. That was my fix as I couldnt find anyone to Tig the hub and bore it out.
