Thanks for all of the useful info in this thread.

I wanted to report on my rear install from today.

2 important findings:
- Axle nut is a hobag. The crimp was folded over too much for any amount of screwdriver/punch action to solve. Electric impact to the rescue!

- Hub rusted to knuckle. No amount of PB Blaster and hammering worked. Probably damaged something from the hour of frustrated hammering. PB + a couple heavy hits with a hammer + 3-jaw puller ([ame="http://www.amazon.com/OTC-Mechanical-Grip-O-Matic-Puller-Reversible/dp/B0002SRGCU"]LINK to mine[/ame]) worked!

Will report back if there are ABS or other issues (I didn't remove mine). The motion of the 3-jaw puller cleared the area where the sensor lives... so it didn't seem necessary.
