think uve gotta change ep90, 52mm hub socket has to come out new seal watch the brakes , seal it all up right or ur gonna get dirty water in  the axle not good.

depends how the funds lye and wanting to get messy about 2 hours all in max

 not sure but i think serious off roader use uprated hubs aswell to protect them from oil and water ( scienific effect names ) happen

mine broke about 4 yrs ago now from this happen resulting new diff, pin, wheel bearings and hub bearing and seals think it about  65o all in  :doh:

No its not hard to do, worth having the bearings as well in case they are FUBAR. Take careful note of the way the seals are set in the hub so you get them back in the right way.

Jack wheel, chock one other and remove wheel, that should also prevent any oil loss from the axle.

Remove the six nuts around the hub and remove the shaft.

Undo the brake caliper and tie out the way (dont undo the brake pipes, just remove the caliper)

Use hub nut socket to remove large nut, and the tab washer, then the other nut and spacer, then pull hub off and take to bench.

change the seals and rebuild the same way, if the bearings are ok then just regrease them. HTH?
