Jonathan, I know that you know that you should be using jackstands, so I won't mention that.
Did you grease the unit bearing while you had the ABS sensor out?

Don't you have one of Snowseeker's unit bearing grease fittings? Or the more expensive one from Riff Raff? My bearings each took about 22 to 24 full pumps of grease when I did mine. The fitting goes into the hole where the ABS sensor goes, then it's just a matter of hooking the grease gun up to the special fitting's zerk and pumping it full as you spin the hub.
I have two of the fittings if you need/want to borrow one.

Score one for the simplicity of 2WD. Don't even have to jack it up or take the wheel off. Thanks for sharing.
