During assembly, one wrench slip and the spindle kicked into the CV boot and punctured it righ at the outboard clamp.
I did a "patch" on it with some epoxy for ABS and a silicon tape wrap. If it starts to sling grease, I'll be getting back in to it. I JUST finished about 30 minutes ago and took my test drive.
No growl, so I guess it was worth the time and trouble.

Hope you got it all fixed and no more problems - especially from the punctured CV boot.

It varies some year models got 34mm some got 33mm. My '01 was a 33mm nut.
It's like 130 ft/lb, so it should break free with a breaker bar. Try squirting some PB Blaster penetrating oil on it, let it sit for 15 min and try again.
BTW, I have a similar situation and will be getting some rear hubs soon to replace them.
