Default hub question...

my driver side 4x4 hub has some slack in it but not very bad i just don't like it. you can wiggle the hub up and down and in and out.so i just ordered a set up warn premium hubs for $94. has anyone changed their hubs and what all does it in-tell and how long does the job take? also i have manual hubs and the ones i ordered are also manual.

its not hard i removed the hubs before if one of the allen keys are rounded out which happens allot you will need to get a tappet set? i think that's what it is called other then that its just pull out the old put in the new.

its not really that different although i do not remember if i needed the special tool to remove the hub part or the brake rotor so worst case you need to rent the tool at advanced auto for 25 bucks
