Carrier and pinion bearings and pinion seal? Or axle bearings and seals? All the above? 10-bolt rear or front or both?

The first nut goes on by feel. Snug it up and back it off a few times, then tighten it to get a slight drag on the rotor. The second nut gets tightened as much as you can without the socket slipping off.

There's a plastic washer that goes on the axle stub shaft before the hub assembly goes on, and a little rubber seal on that. Then there's a metal washer with holes in it that goes between the spindle nuts, it should have a tab that goes in the groove of the spindle. The 1st spindle nut should have a small dowel on it that you line up with one of the holes in the washer, then the spindle jamb nut goes on I think 150 ft/lbs which means pretty much tight as you can get it lol. Sorry I cant find the diagram of the exploded view.
