    Apparently I thought you meant the rotor was frozen to the hub.

    No, the d--n hub was frozen inside the knuckle. It was all gummed up. I scraped it real well and did the anti-seize just in case. While I had the driver side all taken apart, I changed out my rusted up fuel filler tube. Still can't figure out why the manual said to drop the tank. Totally unnecessary.

    Now I know why every does a write-up on the rear hubs. They are a major PITA to get off. But, I finally got my rears done. New rotors, pads, and bearings. Now onto the front. Would it be useful to write up the rear bearings without pics? I was so into getting the bearings off, I didn't bother taking any.
