You got this. Just remember to break that axel nut loose before taking the brakes off so someone can hold the brake and keep it from spinning. If you were closer a 6 pack and a pizza we would have to rolling tonight.

2017 Hoping for very little rust since it's lived its entire life in salt free roads.How old is the vehicle? I do all my work on my 2007 silverado... But it's getting rusty to the point where I need to expect to break bolts...
You'll be golden then! Good luck!2017 Hoping for very little rust since it's lived its entire life in salt free roads.
And have a slide hammer or BACC (Big Assed Cold Chisel) ready. Even after you get the bolts out, the hub can be rusted in pretty hard.I’d pull the wheels the night before and soak everything with penetrating oil.
I think birds are on the menu for tomorrow afternoonMay you be bow hunting Sunday
Did you use a little anti seize when you installed the new ones? Any trips to urgent care?The deed is done.
I did, now I have 2 trucks to choose from,the other a F150...Should have kept your toyota...
I used a little but the only issue with the whole process was the brake rotors getting stuck. The passenger side required me to remove the hub with rotors then I sprayed with PB Blaster overnight. Didn't work so I put the hub face down on a chunk of wood and convinced the rotor free with a dead blow hammer. In hindsight I should have just done brakes too. These new hubs have a coating so there isn't any metal to metal contact.Did you use a little anti seize when you installed the new ones? Any trips to urgent care?
My F150 had threaded holes in the rotors to use a "pusher" bolt to be turned in and pop off the rotors without beating.I used a little but the only issue with the whole process was the brake rotors getting stuck.

Only injuries were from pulling the 4x4 vacuum hose loose and banging my hand into a bolt
