Wheel bearing retention ring is frozen

How’d you make out Kristi?

 

Getting there. I spent a good amount of time cleaning up the knuckle. The hub has been challenging cuz I am doing it with a loaner from the parts store & so the spindle is on the truck. The challenge was finding something that would stay in place to support the inner race whilst I got a press plate over it & tightened up the nut.
I ended up pushing hub through without anything just enough to use a piece of the old bearing.

Question - is the outer spacer supposed to be flush with the hub? My guess is yes, however there was a bit of resistance, do I thought i’d double check & it’s easier to keep going than take it back.

 

Or I should put inner spacer? The one that goes on second. There.

 

Meant to reply sooner....
I did not take pics other than the couple already posted. My haphazard ways are not TW photo worthy as far as how to's, so I really only take them when having an issue & even then still find myself having to be prompted.

 

Forgot to report back. Installed & good. However my wheel has been rotating sluggishly & I thought it was due to the bearing. Turns out to be the brakes.... Onward & thank you all for your help....
