Hey, this hub thing is getting popular, lately !

Too bad there's no complete assemblies available anymore. Rebuilding is the way to go.

I had a two weeks delay in my rebuilding process, but hopefully tomorrow I'll put it all together again, and the Eagle will be on the road again !

A BIG BIG WARNING for anyone removing their front hubs:

1) REMOVE the half-shaft first, or you'll have no way to properly engage the lower carrier bolt with the torx key.
2) USE THE PROPER TOOL to remove the 3 torx bolts that hold the carrier to the steering knuckle.

Ask me how I know...
