Thanks Rich. Unless I'm missing something, there's no hub nut. Once you take the tire off, remove the brake caliper, and rotor, there's just 3 bolts on the back of the spindle/knuckle that hold the hub assembly on. I'm already counting on a fair amount of cussing and bleeding.
As for salt, yep, not normally a problem here. I'm 30 miles line of sight to the Gulf coast, but this truck has only been on the beach 2 times in 10 years. Actually fairly clean up in there being as it has 270,000 miles on it.
