front hub bearing repair...the saga S70 1998

doing passenger side hub bearing as it was making a lot of noise...axle nut absolutely refused to give up.....for a while.....stepped up to a 3/4" breaker bar, with cheater, FINALLY got 36 mm nut loose...no locking tab on it as some said to look for, rusted away? nut just really on there...repair went fairly easily, until...new axle nut that came w/kit would not thread on, and old one was mashed in the knocking out the splined shaft...a quick call to the dealer, and ordered 2 via overnite(shipping more than the parts), as driver side bearing is the same age, and may go too in the near future...shout outs to those who responded to my posts, and the fine people who invented PB Blaster and hand held MAPP gas torches(that'd be you Benzomatic)...
