i am experiencing about 3/16" of end-float with the driver`s side rear
wheel, and as of now, no odd sounds when the wheel turns under load or when
jacked up.
before i tear the hub apart to trouble shoot, i'd like to finish out the
fall season with this defect? i once did the bearings another BN2 and i
remember that it was a rather long job, and that it takes a huge amount of
force to untorque the nut with hthe 8-sided socket ( i ended up making a
6-foot breaker bar).

any inputs from those of you who've had this condition -- can i baby the
axle another 1000 miles, or am i at risk? i will try to pull the hub out
enough to verify that the lock washer is still on, but if it is, can i drive
on, or should i bite the bullet and break knuckles for a few days?
