The bearing race in the front hubs should be tight, I've just had mine done last weekend so can relate to this.

You can get a machine shop to fit you an inner race if it's worn, then your bearing race will sit inside this snug.

More expense or buy another pair of knuckles. Are you sure they are 4wd bearings and not 2wd?

To be honest I can't see how blasting could have took any off it, it would have had to have been really high pressure or too coarse of a bead to kill your hub
