Here is how I solved the problem of the bearings spinning on the axle.  It happens on the nose wheel too.
 
Make a spacer which goes between the bearings.  Now when you tighten the nut, the bearing inner races are 
clamped together against the spacer without increasing  preload on the bearings.  This allows the nut to be tight enough to keep the inner races from moving.    It takes some cut and try to get the right length, but this completely solved the problem.
 
This spacer is available from Grove aircraft, but I don't know if the dimensions are right for Matco brakes.
