I used 2-3 wobble extensions to get around the outer cv joint. I also used ⅜ near the bearing and adapter to ½ in the middle so I could get my impact gun to spin them on.
The first time I did this I used the ”Dr. Seuss ratchet” to access the back of the hub while sitting outside the wheel.
The slots cut in the bolt turned out to be the biggest help in reassembly as it only took mere seconds to snug all four bolts. Helps to have both sides of the car off the ground so you can turn the wheel to align the lug holes.
You do need a very long flat blade bit. You cannot tighten from the tip so you still need to climb under to get them torqued.
Torque wrench will still read within 5% at normal slight wobble angles. If it starts getting extreme I’d add 5-10% to the spec but this case I just used spec there was maybe 5° offset.
Show the bearing race that’s worn when you’re finally do the job.
