Now that I have both of the trailing arms apart and the Hubs out is 
there any reason to take care that I don't mix up the hubs and Trailing 
Arms -- side to side divers vs passenger? Perhaps the tight fit of the 
hub to the trailing arm is important to prevent side loading on the 
studs in the trailing arm? Just guessing.

Also, when I separate the rear axles at the spline is there a reason to 
make sure I don't mix-up the axle halves with respect to drivers side vs 
passengers side. In other words, is it important to keep the original 
male and female splines paired up.

Lastly, the grease on the axle splines was green. Is there some special 
grease I should use on them? These axle splins have never been apart so 
the grease is original.

Those rubber bushings really come out slick with a cheapo 3 arm HF gear 
puller.
