Good! I did install the hub in the unlocked position. And yes the parts went in well. I locked it in after.
The inner was just a bit loose, not much. Maybe a 1/4 turn is all.
I didn't get into the bearing at all. I didn't take the nut all the way off due to the fear factor of not getting it back on with the buggered threads and all. It's all snug now.
I have been told by a few that your not to use much grease in the hub. I used to pack em and was getting grease spray from between the lock out and the hub. I am taking the diff cover off tomorrow and I'll snap a couple of shots too see. It might be obvious. Even to me...
