Go buy tools and warm clothes and Superwinch hubs and PB-Blaster, take off the old ones and bolt on the new ones and drive it to the shop and gloat a few minutes. Makes your 'nads feel enough bigger that it becomes important whether you dress right or left.

The bolts on the hubs are allen heads, and prone to be stuck. PB soaking helps, overnight, and several. I like to use the appropriate allen hex socket with a breaker bar, and shock the bolt/tool under loosening tension with hammer blows to the tool flex head. Allen head bolts strip out easy, and these are small and hard to get at to grind off if you strip it out. The hammering serves two purposes. One is to keep the tool hex socked in the fastener head, and the other is to shock the stuck threads loose without brute twisting force. One snap ring, I think. Get the bolts loose and the rest is pretty easy. Most autohubs get gummed up with old hard grease, and might be resurrected with some heavy cleaning, and a light coat of oil. I ground down a putty knife to match the width of the internal splines in the hub to turn the hub manually while cleaning and grunch it loose/test the function.

BTW, look close at the hub bolts before you accept the return of the truck from the shop. They may have already stripped out the bolt heads.

And there are no "good" shops that I've found. There are some good techs, but no "good" shops...
