Kreig, Is there another nut, and maybe a washer in front of it still
holding the hub on? I think you should be able to see bearing numbers on
the race if everything in front of it has been removed. A little grease
sometimes covers up what should be plain to see. Just a thought--hope
this helps. John D.
