Old front hubs were toast so I spent a few hours yesterday swapping them for new units with NTN bearings.
Not a bad job, only took 2.5 hours per side.
I will say for anyone who comes across this post and is contemplating paying a shop: DIY! No special tools are needed besides the 21mm 12pt socket and BIG axle nut socket.
I needed my trusty impact to remove the axle nut.
Banging on the axle shaft & smacking the tar out of the hub was nerve wracking but oddly therapeutic lol.
Follow Atlantic British’ video posted on YouTube as a process guide.
When I took mine off (non rust belt state) it took a lot more than 5, but every swing I saw the hub move. Took probably 30 minutes to an hour per side from what I remember (For the entire job). Easy job.How many swings did it take you to get the old hubs off? I've always liked how the Atlantic British video shows five swings with no progress, then cuts to the next step of the job.
