If you do not have one you are supposed to used a Dial Indicator to set up the end Play.

Don't beat the Hub out from the inside out because the Hub is very thin there; where the threads are.
What is your pan to remove the Old Hub. Army had an intresting setup to pull the hub out but I used the old Brake Rotor installed reverse and beat it out with a big Hammer.

If the other side is still OK I would leave it alone until it has a problem; but, keep the Special Pin Socket. Beating off the Hub damages the Bearings.

A new rear Hub is around $350 and left and right I belive have different part numbers. It is a lot of work/effort to get the Hub off I am not sure I would want ot do that at a Junk Yard.
