It is really tricky to balance the hub carrier when pressing the bearing back in. There is no flat surface on the back to support it.

I put a new ball joint and CV boot. The new C-clip was a bit tough to tease back in to the CV-joint but in the end it popped in. The left side is back together now.

Next I swapped the rear airsprings and shock dampers. Then disassembled the right front and tomorrow evening I'll put in the new gear I hope on the right hub carrier.

BTW, the threaded sleeves come from Home Depot's electrical dept. You can also see how I cut the outer bearing race and how the bushing can be reomoved from the steel sleeve.
