The bolts were a little to long and when I backed out of the garage, there was a pop and something gave in the rear hub. Everything works (I think) and now something is rattling in the hub. I took the bolts back out and there was a little stuff on one bolt thread. I'll have to do alittle more research, but I will not be driving now until the weather is better and they stop putting all that anti-freeze on the roads.
