I forgot to say that I greased up the socket too.

Then I got to looking at all those bolts. Remember how some of them were longer than others on the knuckle bearing covers? Well I figured that one out. They interchanged knuckle bearing cover bolts (the long ones) with brake plate-looking thing bolts (short ones). Count 'em! They're the same.

I grabbed my three metal (tin?) shims and put them on my knuckle bearing cover thing. Then I ran my large bolts into it. They're 9/16" remember?

One of my bolts wouldn't go in ANY holes. I finally got sense enough to look at it. It looked like someone had pounded on it with a hammer. The threads were messed up.

I took a hacksaw and tried re-threading it enough that it could catch the threads in the hole. After only 5 or 6 pulls with the hacksaw it cleaned up nicely. I thought I took a pic, but I guess not. Anyway, it worked. I got lucky

Now I greased up the elephant thing a bit more where the brass bushing rides.

Then I slipped the brake plate-looking thing on the end. I noticed it comes apart in the middle too. Missed that earlier. There isn't anything in there to replace or fix though. My finger shows where it is coming apart.

I got the plate-thing on and positioned right, with the brake rubber parts at the top.

Then some more impact action for the 8 bolts. They're 9/16" too of course. BZZZT!
