Time to replace the hub assembly

[Black05Z71]

Yep, as I was driving to work last night I started getting the dreaded bearing squeal. Checked out the prices on Rockauto and was very surprised to see that the Timken setup was down around $100. With time constraints always being a factor, I called the local Auto Zone to see if they would match the price. The manager was only able to do it for $150 which was only about $25 more than RA after shipping was figured in, and they had the part in stock as opposed to waiting 3-5 business days. Picked it up on the way in to work tonight and will be replacing the passenger side hub assembly tomorrow afternoon. I just hope the passenger side is as easy as the driver side was 20k miles ago. If all else fails torches, sledge hammers, chisels, and cold beer seem to help persuade parts to come loose!
