You may need to replace the hub nuts (the ones that peen over to stop themselves coming undone) these can be re-used but after a few times they become damaged. Also take this opportunity to clean and re-pack the wheel bearings with general purpose high melting point grease (don't over pack)
Be careful NOT to load the bearings when re-fitting the hub nut, these vehicles use taper roller bearings so you effectively refit taking the nut down until it touches..the wheel should have slight bearing play when refitted to allow for expansion.

The three fixings that hold the splash plate, is there enough room to fit three hex head screws?
