    Yep clean as hale should have take about 46 min to get to first picture . I'm using cheap TRQ and lesser. Some w 100K.on the lesser no issues yet . They're so quick to change I could do it every 8 months . But I'm glad I don't have to.

    Finally received the new axle nut, reinstalled everything and all is good. I have to massage the brake shield to keep th squeaking noise down but other than that, it is a decent task and I will not replace the driver side and will keep the spare wheel hub...

    I still think TOY is screw up of making the bearing fail so early : among the ABS, Hybrid, bearing, MFD, dash display, ... ... this is a very complex and high maintenance car !! without DIY, I dont think normal driver can take care of it ...

    I think I dodge a bullet since this car is basically live in FL and CA ... In MD area where I also live, I am sure it will be a nasty fight to get them -unbonded- .... and with the humid, snow and salt , ... man oh man ... I feel for my people in the east coast :)

    EV-
