Well, Bryce has gone back to his barracks, and we are back to being a couple....instead of the family we have been this last week. In all likelihood, the next time we're together will be at Bryces graduation from his theory/initial training stage. That could be around September, give or take a few weeks.
I reattached the 25pr axle stubs this afternoon. Lots of tightening nuts with open ended spanner.....carefully, so I don't damage paint. There isn't enough clearance to get a ring spanner or socket over them.
I hope this is the correct way these seal retainers go onto the wheel hub. It was the one thing I don't think I photoraphed when I dismantled everything.
They're not going on permanently yet. Bearings need to be regreased and set in place first.
I have ordered this collection of genuine parts from Canada. Not cheap, with the shipping fee, but the parts cost themselves was quite reasonable.
