Thanks guys. The kind words are always much appreciated!
Time for a small update.
Here's what a "permanently sealed" STS-V/C5 Corvette hub/bearing assembly that's been permanently disassembled looks like. Turns out they're more user serviceable than Timken would lead you to believe.
Pop off the ABS sensor cover, pull the ABS trigger wheel off, then remove this two-piece retaining ring. After that it presses apart easily (too bad we didn't figure this out until after we had wailed on it in a 40 metric ton press).
Disassembling the hubs makes it easier to modify the bolt pattern and center bore.
CAD update: Alex did a ground-up redesign of the front brake calipers. The basic piston layout and pad is the same, but these are lighter, easier to machine, use smaller stock, deflect significantly less, and look about 100x more bad ass than the old ones.
