I ordered a dozen of them to from Terrysjag. Guy on the phone was great. Even pulled one out of the bin to check to see if they where indeed T50.
I changed my both rear hubs last night over at my friend's place. He has a lift in the barn. Took us 2 hours total. 1.5 hours for the first 1 and 30 minutes for the 2nd one.
I had ordered a two long shank T50s. One impact other normal.
We had watched the video on forum where the guys cut the bolts of so we were prepared to do that if necessary.
We simply heated each bolt with a torch and hit it with cool water then put the electrical impact wrench to them and out they came.
First shaft was a little hard to get out, but that is what they make ballpein hammers for.
As we had them we used 8 of the new bolts I had ordered.
Passenger side hub was really bad.
Sounds and runs like a new car now.
Thanks everyone on the forum and Dell for link especially.
