The bearings were bad to begin with, which is why I did this along with the inner CV joints and boots (inner boots were torn).

The replacement bearings are FAG brand, which is the OEM manufacturer for Porsche, and they are in fact German made. I think my problem is more than likely that I didnt pull the hub in using the inner races as mentioned. Not a very expensive lesson learned, but a time consuming one. Hopefully this thread helps out some fellow bearing changers! Cheers and thanks everyone for the replies.

PS: Since you spun the wheel and heard no noise, why did you do it. A bad bearing does not go quite with a spinning wheel in the air. If ain't broke...don't fix it!!!
