"You can't really over tighten it" he said.

Well, before we crucify your neighbor, in his defense he probably assumed it was a sealed bearing like most FWDs (and some 700/900s, I think) use. But yes, yours certainly can be overtightened. I agree with Fitz - the race probably wasn't quite seated. I expect the play caused the damage, if any, to the bearings, by letting them ride over the edge of the races. Can't hurt anything to try reusing these bearings but expect the worst - and you may be pleasantly surprised! Good luck!
