Cheers for that and to add another little tip, for the crown nut removal.
We had to heat it and tap it with a hammer before it would loosen...

Crown nut, you mean castle-nut???

Well, I hope you haven't fried your wheel bearing grease (prob not) - here's another way...

Though most use 3/4" Tee-bar with flank drive 46mm socket and a extend it with a pudlok scaff pole. Stand on it and jerk your weight.
