Car is back on the road as of 8pm last night. Bearing installation was a breeze, even with my cheesy little HF press. I ground down the OD of the old bearing outer race and used it to push the new bearing in the knuckle. Found a scrap inner race that matched the diameter of the new inner race and used that to support the knuckle and bearing while pushing in the hub.

I am going to pull the rear wheels and inspect the hubs every month or so this year to make sure the slots are not causing cracking, but I really believe they are going to be fine. Car is superbly silent now.

Putting knuckles back on was quick and easy, except for catching a black oxide heavy wall 1/2" drive deep well impact socket in the face when it flew off my impact gun while installing the upper control arm bolt on the right side... 2" long cut from my upper lip to the left side of my nose. Ah well, chicks dig scars
