I didn't use the tool from Pelican (to be honest, I didn't know it even existed until I did some searching about my issue). I used a generic bearing puller/installer, and a "slide-hammer" style puller to remove the hub. The bearing puller was used to reinstall the hub. The bearing was pulled in by the outer race, but hub may have also been pulled in against the outer bearing race, but it didnt seem to take too much force to press it. The axle splines were clean, nut went on freely and was torqued while the car was still on jackstands (got it as tight as possible, then set the parking brake to finish torquing). I did use loctite on the inner axle bolts, and these were brand new.
