The toughest part about the job is that the axle fits very snug in the hub and is a serious bitch to get moving. Once moving you can work it out, but an impact hammer is useless - I used a 8lb sledge and a steel 1" punch and had to hammer the living crap out of it to get things moving. Even a 3/4 ton suburban is super easy in comparison.
