The only tricky part is putting it back in. But if you have air tools, it should be no problem. LMK if you have questions. That shit was pissing me off too.
    Did you replace the bearings or just put the old one back in?

    Had two ARP lugs strip out in the hub with the lugs on...it's a MAJOR bitch to get off when that happens Only took about 30 minutes to take the entire spindle off and good ole Autofab assisted me with jamming a pry bar between the hub and spindle then use their impact to snatch the lugs.

    On the later model hubs there is a circlip on there that prevents it from coming out, most people don't realize it

    I just had the same bearings placed back in, is anything wrong with that?

    yeah, you'll probably be pulling it back apart and replacing it pretty soon naw, it may work fine but normally they don't cooperate once being pulled apart and put back in -- it might be weeks or months before a vibration is noticed...then you have about 50 miles to go before you're rockin -4° camber and more broken studs

    Thanks for the heads up. If I do note vibration and camber, I'll have the bearings replaced then.

    The camber won't show until the bearing issue gets severe -- that's when your hub is about to come apart
