Small deep dish wheel, eh? I see
Some guys used to service wheel bearings (rwd front & trailers) without even taking off the tire/wheel. I was always afraid that I would damage the seal or something trying to remove & replace the hub with all that extra weight.
And I was thinking about the big axle nut on fwd and ifs 4wd: you darn sure want to loosen that thing before you jack it up, if you're going to replace the axle and/or the sealed bearing hub.
