Yes you can. Easier to just use an impact gun though.

Looks right unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. Looks like the nuts are on backwards. The chamfer is on the outside and should be inside. A drop of locktite and torque to 90 flb-ish.

LMAO yes i just noticed.



You see how the open side angles into the threads? that should be pointed to the hub, always. So those are most definitely wrong.

4wd and in gear/park should stop it from moving, it'll still have play but not much since you'll be fighting the compression of the motor.

the bottom part is supposed to go in first when you thread them in. it centers the spacer on the lugs.
