Wheel hubs, axle shaft but, hub carrier aka spindle all have to go due to salt.
The used hub carrier I bought for $100 on eBay has worn out bearings due to mileage so I pressed them out, clean up the corrosion, put in new bearings and dust cover, and press the hubs back in.

The ball joint T50 screws were locked in with thread locker. Impact tool doesn't work on them. Have to use leverage.
Because it's not mounted to anything, I created leverage 😃
