I just replaced the auto hubs on my pickup, and it was very easy. You might want to pack the bearings while you are at it. This is kind of tricky if you havn't did it before, but is not too hard. Also check all front end conponents for wear while it is apart. I used Superwinch hubs. They are cheaper than Warns, but the Warns have a good rep and are used by many with sucess.

Warn and MileMarker are both very reputable! No they are actually very very easy. check this link out! http://www1.autozone.com/servlet/UiB...3d800a8af7.jsp
