Nick,
Start by pulling the axle assemblies. That's about 30 minutes a
side. Strip the brake paraphenalia off, and cart them down to your
favorite un-ham-fisted, responsible machine shop. Oh, you've never heard
of such a place? That's because I just made it up.
Anyways, settle for a mediocre machine shop and drop your axles
off to be separated. Depending on what you get back from them, you can
then install the bearing kits and torque the hubs back on. Oh, get a
lower trunnion rebuild kit while you're at it. Oh, and use ANTI-SEIZE on
the beveled surfaces of the hub and axle. And use Loctite #272 (red) on
the axle nut itself.
Have fun,
Greg
