@elgyqc I pressed the bearing on correctly, but it’s possible I had the puller disc either on the the back of the bearing covering both inner and outer races or possibly on the backstop of the bearing carrier. After pressing on the hub, and seeing the play, I used a slide hammer to pull the hub back off. No part of the bearing was left on the hub, the whole bearing stayed in place. After reading the comments, it sounds like I may have compromised the bearing, so I am thinking about just starting over with a new bearing. The only other option seems to be to put the hub back in, temporarily put the wheel on to tighten the axle nut and see if the hub has no play. I could then remove the wheel and put the strut and brake caliper back on if all looks ok. What do you think? Thanks for this valuable help, since this is the first time I have done a bearing like this. My experience is with the old style hubs and bearings.
