Final Front Suspension Q's

Hi All!!

Well, hopefully I'm nearing the end of the front suspension rebuild on the
Sprite.  However, I need a few tips...
1) How critical is it that the kingpin cotter pin be driven all the way
thru??  I can't get it past the first thread showing.  Can the assembly
take a lot of beating to get this through??  I'm just not sure how much
drifting before something breaks.
2) Can an alignment be done by myself so that I can drive about 100 miles??
 I won't be able to take it to the local shop before the guy leaves for a
trip to Europe.  In the meantime, I have a tour to run.  I've had a few
suggestions(thanks Al!), but I could always use more.
3) I need to install the inner roller hub bearing(a Tyvek(?) I think).
Which way round should this be installed??  There are no markings on the
bearing.  I know this came up before, so I'll check the archives when I get
to work tomorrow.

Thanks!!  Hope to see you on the road or at Hellertown this weekend!!
Jason.
