The last few taps resulted in both bearings tightening up - ie they wouldn't move easily. I guessed that the long spacer was in tight contact with both inner shells. They would turn if I applied pressure to both bearings simultaneously.
When you installed the wheel did you have the brakes installed. The thin metal slider that the front tab on the pads likes to shift and rub on the rotor that would make a squealing sound. Just a thought.

So what was the noise ? Without the brake pads in the calipers and the stopper bolt removed, the disk pad retaining clips were scraping like fingernails on blackboard on the top of the disk
Brilliant -well done - you posted this as I was writing my last reply. Yes, that's what it was - except it was the top spring.
But it's the sharing of this kind of experience that makes st-owners such a valuable resource. Different people have different ideas and experiences. Often I find, even if the problem isn't solved, the variety of comments made lead me into a different, less blinkered, way of thinking - which helps get the problem solved.
ya'll got me wondering. If I take the wheel off and take it to a dealer, what will they charge to change the bearings?
