I want to thank everyone for their generous help and illustrations, YouTube
videos and PDFs.  I think I am better armed to tackle this job now.  I guess
I have BJ8 backing plates (and they were expensive) because the fit around
the caliper plate is too tight.  So, now looking for some early backing
plates.  I did purchase a rather good selection of shims, some I already
had, but I will check them out with my calipers before installing in any
order.  The instructions go n the assumption that you have disassembled a
hub the way they explain putting it back together.  I am putting parts
together that have not been together on this car before so I don't know what
combination of shims to start with.  It will be just a little more trial and
error.  I see from the illustrations that there are external star washers
missing and a few other small parts.  It's a good thing I am not in a hurry.
Just want to do this right the first time, otherwise it could end up being
an expensive, if not dangerous lesson to learn.  I'll keep you all up to
date.  Thanks again.
