I was in the same situation yesterday -- here's what I did & would appreciate
being told if it was not good --
I used marine-grade Lubriplate to grease the hubs as it is not too thick but is
waterproof.
I only tightened the knock-off slightly past hand tight as the lefty/righty
arrangement would seem to cause them to (if anything) tighten further as you
drive. For 'whacking' I used a block of soft wood against the ear and hit it
with a 3 lbs. dead-blow hammer. Used a dead-blow to reduce the possibility of
the hammer bouncing back and striking the wing. Used a 3 lbs. so it was more of
a tap than a whack.
