Being a two wheel drive without the CV axle it was actually super easy. Once I got the 3 bolts put the hub essentially just fell out lol MUCH easier than it ever was on my 07

Oh well in THAT CASE!!!!

I’m loving it. It’s handled the snow pretty decent too

Any issues braking the hub out of the knuckle? I had a **** of a time doing my last one.

I think the bigger difference is this vehicle has not been soaked in the wonderful elixir of salt and snow that exists in the north.

That’s true too. Definitely a very low amount of corrosion to contend with at this point. But the lack of axle shaft sticking through the hole (giggity) also makes a difference. Sometimes that shaft holds on for dear life! Lol

Interesting. Guess, I’ve never had an issue with the axle shaft hanging on.

Years ago now I bought a defective hub. The thing literally lasted 2 weeks if that and was the last time I bought a cheap hub assembly. When I went to replace that 2 week old hub I had to beat that thing out as if it had been in there for 5 years cuz that cv axle wouldn’t let go it was an awesome time had by all.

That would suck. My guess is the cheap hub didn’t have hardened splines and it gauled up on your shaft.

Possibility. It’s been long enough I don’t remember all the intricate details. Just enough to be the old guy with stories to tell from his porch and straw hanging out his mouth
