I definitely put 10 in but I will recheck of something's fallen out. I did not put the locknut on the cone (not cone nut ) before testing. I put the cone on, screwed it in, spun the axle. Too tight. Loosen up. Axle rotates but also rattles.
Well, "(it's) not that they have lots of dents in them" does not read to me as "they were fine," and I don't check all your threads for additional info. You did not mention new bearings so I had no reason to suspect you did not reuse. Obviously I asked if you tightened the locknut before testing because that's the proper procedure, as noted by others here.
