Left side hub before removal. the three bolts holding the hub to the steering knuckle were a real pain. The heads of the bolts were dented and almost impossible to get a socket onto them ! (I had to sit there for ahwile with a file and try to reform them to where I could get a socket on them) 12 point 1/2'' socket

Inside was nice and clean ! Just remember to put back just like it came apart. Had to pull the pumpkin to replace the seals!

Old inner axle seal after removal . Removed with a piece of pipe slid through the steering knuckle and down the housing,Than just tapped it out with a small hammer! Putting in the new ones was not as easy! I wound up buying a 1 and5/16 socket for installing the new ones. It was a perfect fit inside the seal and seemed to work pretty well for tapping in the new ones.
