Sorry to relate my experience, but after pulling my passenger side axle to repair, I LOOSELY assembled the hub with the strut, without axleshaft, in order to push back into my parking spot. I FAILED to use a 4" long x 3/4" bolt, nut and washers in order to keep bearing together. Upon reassembly of rebuilt axle, I had grinding noise which was due to wheel bearing being ruined.
Lesson: *WHENEVER* rotating a wheel bearing with any weight, even pushing the car 50 feet, you MUST use a bolt and nut and washers to keep bearing races tight to bearing. This is done automatically when an axle is installed and the nut is properly torqued (212 ft/lbs, or, As Tight As Possible, whichever is greater). If there is no axle installed, the bolt nut and washers serve this same purpose.
