The question of outer hub half moving out when not secured was addressed a few days ago. As above only the stickiness of the gasket and radial fit of bearing in housing retains it. if the hub has not been extensively lapped and the bearing not a proper fit in housing, the axle will pull out maybe 1/4 inch. When secured by the 3 countersunk screws it should not move, unless bearing very loose in housing, steel washer ommitted, very thick gasket fitted, or the bearing nut undone (very unlikely)
If the hub tapers can be pulled without damaging studs or threads the keyways and vicinity well worth inspection for cracks.
If the paper gasket has torn more or less have to dismantle.
With the tapers removed the axle is very free, and can with juggling be pushed far in (the basis of the get you home trick)
The common cross section of hub drawing is worth study.
