rear wheel bearing

[Kneale Brownson]

ETKA shows the same part number for fronts and rears except the rears have an "F" suffix.  The front kits I got from Autohausaz have the right part number of the box, but do not have any circlips.  They have an axle bolt and the bolt for the ball joint stem opening and a couple stop nuts.  Should I try some other supplier or can the OEM circlips be reused?

I did not know there was a difference between fronts and rears...I just had 
two kits from quite a while back, used them on the two rears...then when it 
came time to do the front wheels. I ordered two more kits....they looked 
identical to the previous, I do not recall any nylon inset nuts, there were 
two circlip washers and two axle bolts in each, the rears need two circlips, 
the fronts only need one.

Stop NUTS are those nuts with an insert in the threads that don't require a 
lock washer to keep them in place. You reuse axle bolts? They're all 
supposed to be one-time uses aren't they? They're supposed to stretch in 
the last 1/4 turn after reaching torque stretch, aren't they?

You've never replaced an axle bolt or a stop nut?
