Preferably when the lift is available so I can get under there nice and easy and fight them. They are hex bolts as you know and the last thing I wanted to do was strip them because I was having to put that much force on them. Something was going to break or strip.

Hub was no issue. First side took a bit longer as expected as I figured it out. Second side I whipped through in no time.
Ah. sometimes it's best to quit while you are ahead!

I have never had the luxury of a lift. All my my wrenching has been on my back with the car supported safely on jack stands. A garage tall enough for a lift is on my list of "must have's" for my next house.

You'll love it. I've wrenched my whole life on jack stands and finally bought a lift last year and now I'm wondering why on earth I didn't do this 20 years ago lol. It's night and day difference.
