It'd have to be loose, loose. Not 185ft*lbs vs 225 loose.
The only reason a hub is normally replaced is because it's easier than pressing the inner race off of it.

That's not possible, if the bearing is going to spin it will spin with that nut on or off.

Maybe a more technical type can comment. But from what I understand (and I could be wrong): The axle nut gets loose loose. The bearing gets damaged from the play. It then spins in the race, galling out the hub. You take off the hub and the bearing just falls out. You can't just replace the bearing because the hub is now worn on the inside and a new bearing won't fit snugly.

When the cv gets pushed through the hub is it stopped by the bearing inner race or hub. For some reason I was thinking it gets stopped by the hub but it must press against the other inner race of the bearing?
