Finally decided to tackle this job. It's been making a growling for several thousand miles. Got the hub out after about 2-3 hours. Definitely a bad bearing. Very tight, but feels really cobby. When I pulled the wheel off I could feel the bearing was really hot. I doubt it would have gone much longer.
So, getting the bearing out... My 12 ton press can't do it. Guess I'm going to have to take it to a shop to get the job done. Those are some huge bearings and tight as hell. Has anyone had good luck taking to NAPA? I'm a little worried about some flunky screwing it up.
