Kinda small bearings for a big truck, but it is rated only for 16000 lbs.

once the outer bearing is removed you can pull the front hub/drum assembly off.


Remove the inner bearing and seal.

clean up the bearings and seal then repack with nice clean greese.


While you have the hub removed its a good time to repack your bearings!
Thanks for the details with pics! Hopefully this weekend I will have time to check them out. When braking hard it pulls to the left, so its about time I found out why.
