Also, thanks again for the tip on the spare tire. I'd have popped out the center cap of the rim, and possibly broke it in the process.

You can also just put a screwdriver in the brake rotor vents that will prevent the assembly from spinning

i used a 4 foot pipe on a 1/2 drive breaker bar to break mine loose. it was that tight and the exposed threads were rusty too.

I used an impact and it came right off

They are cheap and have crap reviews for a reason. I would rather do the work once. My time is worth more than "saving" $60 but having to do the job 4 times.

Detroit axle doesn't make the bearing, they are the distributor.

The new rope would break if it was made in China at the same factory that can make and sell 2 bearings with abs sensors and 2 tie rod ends for $76 half way around the world and make a profit.
