Congrats. I installed mine earlier this year and the only issue I had was that with the spacer under the spindle nut, the cotter pin would not fit in the bore. I took everything apart to make sure that my bearings were seated properly and found they were. A couple of people confirmed that not all applications needed the spacer (it is basically a thick 3/4" washer, IIRC). I just went to the hardware store and found a thinner washer to put between the outer bearing and the spindle nut and everything seemed fine.

Follow the instructions (especially heating the inner bearing adapters in the oven before driving over the spindle - worked well) and you should be good to go.
