Hub removal / how to remove 10 bolt hub

With the spindle nuts removed the entire hub assembly / brake disk should pull right off. Depending on how bad you beat your rig, the hub and brake disk will probably be rusted together and be a pain to seperate. I always keep mine as one unit unless i need to replace the disk (Never). Once you get the hub out the front cone shaped bearing is probably going to fall out on the ground in a pile of dust and dirt and be no good like mine did. The rear cone bearing is kept in place by a seal. Grab you a crowbar or your choice and that seal should pop right out followed by the cone bearing. All that should be left on the axle is your disk brake heat shield with 6 nuts securing it in place
