At this stage, repack the bearings

Finish removing rotor. Penetrating oil, 15 minutes and a mallet whack usually do the trick.
Pull out radio interference spring.
Loosen hex nut, unscew lock nut, remove 3-pronged washer.
Hub and bearings come off.

You need a new seal for the rear bearing. If you can't get a replacement, leave the existing one alone. Wipe out old grease, repack with new (assume you know how). Put bearings (and seal, if removed) back and place on spindle.
Put washer on and screw locknut on hand tight. Tighten while spinning until washer won't move (not too hard, now) then back off very slightly until you can begin to move the washer with a screwdriver. Set locknut with hex screw.
Put it back together with 1 notes:
1. You should use loctite on the caliper bolts (which I thought were actually 18mm) and torque correctly.
