I'm trying to convince myself to continue work today, though (my back is ailing me). Torquing the nut to spec on the top hat is a PITA. I had to lay it on the ground and hold the assembly in place with my foot while I torqued it. I assume a vice would help with that and I might give it a try.
hahaha, i didnt know you had to do acrobatics to install the rear.

i usually use my hydraulic jack under the hub carrier to raise and torque everything in place.

Also bought a vice and installed that as well.

BTW here's a teaser pick of the rear.
GL with the rest!
