i usually cut the grease slinger a bit to clear the nuts.

 

Thanks 36-3 window .That's what I will do.

 

You could also probably use the nuts usually called "Jet Nuts" by racers...very small hex on a flange that forms the pressure surface. Gets rid of the protrusion of the hex corners entirely.

 

See, That's why you're on the big bucks Bruce.

I left my grease catcher thingy out but I wasn't happy about it. Now I can put it back in. So simple.

I just use the spindles that Ford forged a real steering arm onto...no muss, no fuss.
