Little tips:
*You can reuse axle nuts; I do it all the time. It just depends if it's chewed up or not.
*I always replace the grease seals, but mainly because I tend to crush them while getting the steering knuckle off the hub tube with a 3-prong puller that has bigger jaws than others I guess. But they're cheap, so oh well
*You might want to get a set of nut extractors. Not for the axle nut, but in case you chew up the 4 smaller bolts between the steering knuckle and the hub. If your car is a northern car like mine, there might be some rust up in there and they are stubborn. I got a set of 5 for less than $20 and I've fallen in love them
