a new bearing has zero play when tightened. if the axle nut is off you will see a little play. generally what happens is that the circlip slot wears and a shim has to be inserted between circlip and bearing. the bearings are in there tight and involve a lot of different pressing scenarios both out and ESPECIALLY back in. a press would help but std bearing pressing plates may not suffice as they are in there big time.I use a ring compressor and old outer brg shell to repress, old inner races for axle press through. the seals are fragil and clearances are tight. i'v done 4+ now and am pretty good at it. you'll be cussing before you are done. pulling the knuckle and having the bearings done by a saab shop is a good compromise. they'll earn the labor charge and it will be done right. check townsend faq. the job is not for wimps, even hardened DIY vets cringe at not being paid for all that work.
