To begin, all parts must be clean. I strongly suggest using new wheel bearings but if you are considering reusing the old ones, inspect both the bearings and the races that are pressed into the hub for wear. Let the wheel bearings soak in mineral spirits for thirty minutes and blow out with compressed air. Repeat this process with clean mineral spirits until no more debris is found. Now you may pack the bearings with a good quality bearing grease by placing an amount of grease the size of a golf ball in the palm of your hand and press the edge of the bearing into the grease and forcing it out the other side. Grease all bearing races and inside the hub.
Now, fasten the dust covers to the swivel axle. Attach the rotor to the hub and torque the bolts as specified. Attach the hub and rotor assembly to spindle and secure with the nut and cotter pin. Tap the grease cap into place to complete the hub assemble installation.
The caliper can now be attached to the swivel axle assembly and torqued as specified.
The coil springs may be installed safely after the front suspension is mounted to the frame. This will be done after the car is painted and buffed.
