5 to 6 hrs? why dont you just use a cut off wheel to cross cut them them use your air hammer and knock the heads off? or do you like to beat the snot out of your wrist with a mini sledge and cold chisel?
no this was a wheel bearing that need adjusted, pull the cover and see shavings, pull the bearing and find half the race in the outer bearing. but the hub and find the outer bearing same. beat the races out and repalce with out any issues, find the spindle cut and gouged and have to ream it and shave it and sand it smooth to let the new bearing on. then have your supervisior say run the old bearing, causde if it came off iti will go back on......this my friend is why we only have 2 trucks left that have wheel bearing packed with grease, all others have been updated to wet bearings and hubs!
