Thanks all!
Tapping the hub onto the splines will be fine, they're a press fit so they may need a little encouragement to get the nut threading. I'd just put a wood block or something soft between the hammer and the hub. Also, don't forget the spacers, 1mm for the bearing and the 3/8" for under the axle nut!

Now that it appear that the code has been cracked on "good" vs. "bad" OEM style hubs, are we still feeling like these are a significant improvement over "good" OEM?

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't know there was a good vs bad OEM rear hub design. Are you referring to OEM front hub designs mayhaps?

You will need a rubber mallet, tight is good with splines. Also make sure the axle splines are clean and it never hurts to use anti-seize on them, I actually highly recommend it for future removal.

Wrong thread, bro.

Upon further review, you're correct. The SM Weekend of Failure thread is about front hubs, and these are rear. Carry on then.

Update on my non-fitting hub:

The hub had a small dag or something in/on the spline preventing full travel of the shaft, no amount of shoving and tapping would convince the shaft to go more than 2/3rds of the way in. This was fixed with a light filing of the bore and the splines of the hub, a good clean and re-greasing.
