Those E450 rear disc brakes use the same old Caliper Pins as the front disc brakes had on E-Series of the 1980s. This is odd since the Front disc brakes on the E450 are the more modern threaded pin style with boots to keep dirt off.
Between the two studs in the left side of the picture where OP greased the hub, you can just see an extra hole. On ours, I tapped that hole with 1/2"-20 thread. I can then turn a boat trailer lug bolt through the hole and it'll push on the hub, or the wheel next to it. The outer duals have to be mounted so the valves are one stud off of directly opposite so the bolt doesn't go into the corresponding hole in the inner dual.
