I already ordered the special axle spline nut. I am working on the driver side rear bearing. Is this nut as right or left hand thread??? I am going to make a long bar to bolt up to the hub so I can back up the whole thing from turning when I am tightening the nut. Can you tell me if I can press the races out with a press. I have the whole backing plate assy off of the car., and on the bench, but have not pulled the spindle untill I get the tool. I can fab round collars out of steel to use with the press. I can also heat the backing plate, and use dry ice on the inner races if I have to. What is the best grease to pack the bearings with, or are the new ones sealed?? Also as I have pulled the whole backing plate assy off of the car, what is the setup proceedure for that swivel bearing that attaches the backing plate assy to the control arm. It is secured by a nut that was under a dust cover, near where I placed my jack stand. How tight do you get the nut, and how is it secured from backing out. I have not been able to get an answer from any one on this. Maybe I did to much dissasembly, but I was going to take the whole assy into a shop that knew what they were doing. Thank you all for your continued assistance on this.
