The War Wagon got new front wheel bearings today. When I put new wheels on it few weeks ago, I noticed that there was a fair amount of 12-6 play on the drivers side and a CONCERNING amount on the passenger side. Figured the bearings might be shot, so I bought new bearings and races, as well as new flanges, cone washers, etc. Started to take it a part and discovered there were no snap rings and that the nuts that old the bearings in were not even hand tight! Whoever did the last front brake job seems to have just guessed as to how to do it.

Funny thing is, while the handling was a bit sloppy, it wasn't obvious to me while driving that the hubs were no longer seated properly. It just felt like an old truck!
Passenger side went back together great. Driver side I can't seem to pull the CV spindle out enough to get even the smallest snap ring in place. I can currently barely see the grove where it goes. Now I'm off to take a forum deep dive and see if there are any solutions. CV axel pull tool didn't help and neither did jacking up the LCA.
