I put up with that on one side. When I just replaced both, it was a legit 20 minutes to do the R&R. Suffice it to say, I probably went through a tube of anti seize for the installation of the new parts.

Now this is different than your situation as you were just trying to get the hub off the axle assembly, but in my opinion. Taking it all off and just replacing both is worth the minimal added cost.

agreed! If I hadn't been up against an event weekend I would have just ordered the shaft and hub together. This is the first one I've had that wouldn't come loose from the axle

Believe it or not, that was the first time I’d done a hub on a Disco. I have to say, I was quite impressed.

After watching some videos, I may at some point get nuts on the Giverny and even gear it (if we stay put for a while so I can get it to the state I’d like for general use) as I’ve watched a couple videos, and doing gears doesn’t seem too difficult and definitely doable on a bench.
