you can also google warn hubs and find a lot of info. if people serviced their front hubs more often they wouldn't have any problems

Yep, that's what I figured too with all the small pieces of metal in there. Time and pressure back and forth plus shooting air and degreaser plus perseverance equals success The PO gave me slightly used hubs and said 1 needed replacing. Thought it'd be 15 minutes but turned into 5 hours. He neglected the brakes too, rotors need turning, needs pads, bearings and seals so I think I'll do a complete rebuild. Oh Boy
