First of all check to see if as stated above your seal is leaking. Either way your going to have to pull it. Did you torque the retainer properly? Sounds to me like your bearing is binding up. Reread op... your bearing is binding. Check torque if this isn't the problem you absolutely have to pull it back apart. Im going to assume through this that your brakes aren't worn out.
