Good advice. I would like to see these items compiled into a sticky for the DI tech section. I am sure lots of us could benefit from the collective knowledge acquired thru these experiences.

But I'm pretty sure they're like $6 or something. There is also a small bearing in the axle shaft, just inboard of the swivel ball, not sure how hard that would be to change, but might also be worth the effort while you're in there.
yeah,kinda contemplating that myself... being that deep into the guts anyway!
full-rebuild it is then!

I just got my hub nut socket from UPS today. I highly recommend tossing out the extra $15 for it if you know you'll be doing the job. I might even break it all back open and re-do the torques on the hub nuts, if time permits. Just because.
