parts break! cheap parts break faster! improper installation, aggressive driving, collisions,poor road conditions. GL. Get a service manual.

Wow, in 10min? Either you damaged the wheel bearing putting it back in (probably when you pressed in the hub into the wheel bearing) or your suspension is really messed up and should be visually noticable if your new wheel bearing went out in 10min.
For the OP, I would check your suspension and make sure everything is aligned right (nothing bent or damaged) and that when you press the hub into the wheel bearing, you be careful not to damage the wheel bearing.
I fixed my wheel bearing about 2 years ago on the driver side. I made sure I watched the guy pressing the hub into the bearing (I would've done it, but I don't own a press). No problems for me with the wheel bearing.

Its next to impossible to kill the bearing in 10 mins. When the bearing was pressed onto the hub was the inner and outer race supported? Also, when you reinstalled the axel nut did you torque it or did you just ream it on with the gun? More likly then not, you [freak]ed it up when you pressed it onto the hub. If it failed in a few weeks/months that could be caused by too much preload caused by over torqueing the axel nut.
Also, is the car lowered? if the car is really low it puts more stress on the bearing. However the point still stands, either you got a defective bearing (very unlikly) or you [freak]ed it when you pressed it onto the hub.

Re: wheel bearing (JDM_DC4_Fanatic)
or the bolts in my intermediate shaft raddled out... started taking it apart an hour ago looked at the shaft because i was under the car and noticed one of the upper bolts missing... lower was missing and the other upper was just hanging there.
that being said, could the stress of the floating intermediate shaft and axle, along with my car being lowered and me driving it moderatly hard for the 10 minutes, could that have been the bearings kryptonite?
