If you used assembly lube AND you replaced it with the right size
bearing, it shouldnt bind at all. Better check the old bearing to find
out what size it was and then compare it to the bearing you have in there
now. 
On the bearing half, it will have the size and part number etched on the
underside near the tang.
HTH!!
