Thanks BigJim, it looks like I'll be changing these out ASAP.

The advice I've gotten so far is that I'll need a big socket for the shaft, and to be careful of the axle seal when removing the axel?...not to wiggle too hard.

Any more advice for me? My mechanic originally suggested this would be a hard job.
