Many studs are pulled part out of the flange and stretched which latter does not improve the brass thread. Cannot be corrected with a die. The supplied brace used reasonably is the correct tool.The Seven wheel bearings are very generously sized for the car. Smaller bearings in moderns last the long mileage life of the vehicle.
Unless going swimming, all races need little more modern grease than fills the races, with no external top ups as the book. The state of the seals in the front is then not critical.
Even when the diff oil is maintained low as many recommend, if modern internal seal have not been fitted, diff oil often finds its way into the hubs and out of. A modern seal very worthwhile. a problem is the often severe existing wear of the axle housing surface. Sealed bearings, although not designed primarily to stop oil flow, effectively do if not flooded.
The steel washer used with the felt seals must be retained. Gasket should be such that the large bearing is clamped endways. Check standouts. Especially at the front, the bearings must be a snug fit in housings.
The above article under Clutch applicable.
It is important nothing stripped or butchered in the dimantling. Most have been in the past.
