Rear Hubs and stub axles
Note that the stub axle MUST be installed in the hub whenever the weight of the car is on the hub. Failure to do so will damage the hub!
The M12 screw was shortened to 1.9” to maximize the length of the grip (20mm).

To disassemble:
Remove the cotter pin (F4). Note that cotter pins should not be reused.
Remove the axle nut (F3).
Remove the stub axle (A). Note that a puller makes this easy and prevents damaging the bearings in the hub.
Remove fasteners F1. Note that you'll have to do this in two passes as the first bolt can't be removed until the other two are loose.
To Assemble
Bolt hub (C) to upright using fasteners F1 and F2. The hub is attached to the side of the upright with the four shallow recesses (the axle side has deep recesses.
Apply anti-seize to the spines and threads on the stub axle (A).
Tighten the axle nut (F3).
Install a new cotter pin (F4) into the axle stub (A).
