Ahhhh. Minivan success.
A day soaking with PB Blaster and re-installing the wheel without the brake caliper, using it for leverage.
Popped that sucker loose, with the brake structure attached. -Just had to pop it out of the brake structure with a few hammer taps.
The new hub/bearing went right in without a hiccup and she's quiet as new now, despite almost 119K miles.

Come on, Indiana/Michigan/Illinois/Kentucky/Ohio boys!
Woodweavil wants these tires and I want to help him!!!
Spacers! Need some spacers! If only for a week and then I put on some undersized tires with steelies until I get my own spacers for his Sahara wheels.

Weav: Firehound has offered to help us make this work. Once he and I are able to hook up , I'll let you know. I have a business trip on the 27th and 28th that will keep me out of town, other than that, it's working around kids and their extracurricular activities.

I'm at Discount Tire, waiting for them to finish mounting and balancing your 37s, Woodweavil. I hope you already trimmed your pinch seams. These things are huge!

<edit> Took a couple of corner pics as I was taking them off. Too much shadow in the RR, but RF shows tread depth well.
