Yup, finished and it took about 16 hours. At times there were 3 guys working on it. It was a bitch @ first but the second side went well. I could do it way faster now I know all the tricks. The worst part was the ujoints. Nothing the heat wrench couldnt handle. Just need an alignment and I'm all good. all besides the Duramax guys giving me hell. I assured them they will be doing the same.

Btw, hub were not good. Both new, really expensive. What sucked the most? Paying for it!

Unfortunatly I wanted Timken but I was pressed for time and couldnt wait for them to come in. You can buy Timkens @ carpartswhole.com for $250 autozone wants $350. So if you are going to replace you bearings you cam save 200 if you order ahead of time. I bought them for my Expedition and they were good to deal with. I used Federals. They have a two year warranty. I recommend Timkens though.

My pass side bearing was shot. The only sign was humming while driving. When I jacked the truck up I wiggled the wheel and spun it. It felt tight and right. Spun with no sign of a problem. It wasn't until I pulled the assembly off and checked the bearing. At that time there was no doubt it was bad. I recommend buying the bearings and having them on hand like I didnt do. Especially if you are pressed for time. You can always return them. But my bet is you will use them. Invest in antiseize and coat everything with it. I would order them off the net to save yourself a few bucks unless you get shop rate at your parts store. One more thing is greaseable ujoints. Napa has them. Everybody else says they ate not available. Carpartswholesale has them too. Get greaseable everything! Grease every oil change! Just my 2 cents!
