OK, so you don't want to tell me what kind
of grease. I chose MultiLube. ThpThpthpppp!

Now, I got the seals in the rear hubs.
I got the bearings in the rear hubs. Right in
as far as they'll go.

I silde the hubs, with bearings, on the rear axles.

I tighten the rear axle nuts to 50 lbs.

Guess what!  The bearings are fully seated.  BUTTT
the hubs can slide back and forth on the axle. IZZAT OK?
I mean just 1/8" or so, but I woulda thought that with
the bearings seated and the hubs on the axles, everything
would be snug. WrongO.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG HERE??
