Jim:
I agree with Terry, I would certaily check the hub nut first, but it is more
likely the bearing. Take his advise & buy a rebuilt hub assy or have it done
at a competent machinist. You need some where's near a 12 ton press to get
that baby apart, plus the right support around the housing to avoid breakage.
Keep us posted.
