I have a feeling that I am missing something easy but I cant find it. I replaced all four ball joints last weekend and besides getting the old ones out it was not a major issue, driver side went back together easily but when I got to the passenger side hub it got really tight. As I tightened the four bolts to pull the hub into place it got to a point that I could barely spin the wheel. This occurred with about 1/4 of the bolt left to tighten. I probably tried 3-4 times before I gave up and to put it back together so I was not in the way of my wife. I thoroughly cleaned all surfaces to remove rust and even put a small amount of grease to help it pull together nicely and sequentially tightened the bolts to pull it in evenly. Any ideas???
