yes I have to remove the hubs . the hubs and the drums are one assy pressed together with the wheel studs you just can't pull the wheels and drums so its a major job to do the rear brakes

plc7 Thats the first place I went they said to check with the manufacture different manufactures want different amounts of additive you'd think they would be all the same for the same axle


didn't know they made gear oil with additive already in it


thanks

you will have to pack the bearings with light wheel bearing grease , and after a few miles the lube will have to be topped up

sorry it take so long for me to reply I work at night and sleep all day I do have light grease for the bearings which I'm going to replace also since I'm going to be in there anyway hopefully won't have to do this job for awhile.
