Front wheel bearing came apart while installing.

So I got a bearing and the press kit, pulled everything apart and all of that went well, getting the carrier off the hub and everything.
I then pressed in the new bearing and that went well, I put in the circlip, and when I pushed the hub back on, the bearing came apart. Any thoughts on what I did wrong? Maybe too small a pusher? It was tough pushing it in and then it got easier and then I realized it was falling apart. When I removed the installation tool and turned the hub.
I'm ordering a new bearing and hub kit because it's too much of a headache to pull the carrier bearing off the hub again.

Did you push out the inner race of the bearing during the installation? The inside washer from your press kit used to press the bearing into the knuckle must then be changed to a different size before you proceed to press the wheehub into the bearing...
