Final three...
1. New retaining ring in - stake at marks.
2. Hub nut back on.
3. Cap and cutter pin, back in - all done
Not bad.
Though, the passenger side acted up. The retaining ring was completely stock. Tapping it was of no use. I made a tool that fits perfectly in the shallow cuts, yet with a 4 foot bat attached the retaining ring would not give... Colin stopped by and helped destroy the ring - only way to get it out! Though, be real careful with the threads in the Dedion housing... It came out with no practical damage to the threads, and the new bearing was out in and hub assembly re-installed. Rear wheel bearings all done, though the passenger side was a bugger... be prepared...
Oh, I should mention that the driver's side bearing had some noise. The passenger side had noticeable play. So, I think both were towards the end of their lifespan - not a luxury replacement. The new ones are certainly a bit better - no noise, no play
