Am in the process of replacing rear wheel bearings and am also replacing wheel cylinders because of the usual sheared bleed valve problem at the same time.
Two questions
1 There appears to be play between the male/female splines on the axle shafts so much so I was able to draw them apart by hand without a puller. As the two shafts are compressed togather by the large axle nut when assembled does this matter or will I still get excessive wheel play?
2 The replacement wheel cylinders from JK came without a compression spring between the pistons (and no space or drilling to accomadate one) Am I to assume I discard the new pistons and replace these with the old in order to retain the spring? I have not come across this arrangement
before , what effect does the spring have?

hub isn't interference fit ime, never needed a puller .
new cylinders, I wouldn't have taken them apart myself so no idea of the reason for a difference, but if JK then probably not the same as the originals, FAG with no markings ime. I always buy the most expensive ones from gsf, the cheap ones seem to only last a few years and the cost difference is marginal.
