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.
