first, I raised the single wheel in park and could not feel any play in it while trying to shift it around gripping by the tires. then put it in N to spin it but most of the resistance seemed to just be the brake pads as they always slightly rest on the rotor.
after reading WIS:
(1) pulling the tie rod end off the knuckle: is it OK to use the std fork like eEuro sells? of course Saab has a special tool 89 96 696. seems like I read someone saying not to use a fork type? OK though?
(2) Tapping out the drive shaft from the hub with a plastic (or rubber mallet OK?) hammer: does this mean striking the end of the shaft back in towards the car just to push it back away from the hub/knuckle/bearing combo? That wnot put any damaging forces into the shaft and CV joints? or does it not take much? light striking?
(3) Fitting drive shaft back on the hub: WIS says use a new center nut and says "push it home with a new hub center nut": so this means using the nut to "pull" the shaft back into the hub all the way? but not to full torque yet until wheels are back on and car is down. the WIS almost reads like the center nut isn't fitted at all until car is back down on ground but that would mean "pushing home" the shaft into the hub with the nut, then removing the nut, finishing the job, then putting the nut back on and torquing.
I definitely am making calls to do the pressing for me (or a buddy is thinking hard about buying one but we'd still need a set of tools to fit the bearing perfectly.
