Bearing adjustment

I checked the curbside wheels today and had movement. I removed the wheels and brake drums. Both sets of bearings were discarded as the front bearing cage was bent and the rear wheel bearing had score lines in the race and bearing. I call Dexter Axle Corp. when the castle nut would not line up with the carter pin hole. The service engineer said to torque the nut to 50 foot lbs then loosen the nut and tighten finger tight. Well. the nut and hole still did not lign up. He said to back off the nut until the hole and the nut would accept the carter pin. When I did this I still ended up with a wheel that has too much play. Help would be appreciated.
