So one more question i thought off while researching this...

you remove the lock nut with a drift tool and hammer but how on earth do you retighten it to the ridiculous value of 119ft/lb


You tighted with the big special socket tool, which should be pic'd in the FSM. Most of use have gotten the GM 6-pin tool (3/4 ton? Can't recall for sure) and ground off four pins. You can get them at most corner parts stores for ~$15.
