I’m not worried about the brakes coming off etc as I just replaced all of that hardware last year. The 3 ( I believe) 12 point nuts that hold the unit on are GONE! That my first obstacle.
The 2nd is the actual u -joint and yoke and getting them out because they are so so rusted
Good luck. I used to do all the work on my Jeeps and then moved to a Condo in Charlottesville Va less than 2 years ago. I have to pay people to do stuff now. HOA says NO to anything. You would think $1300 monthly rent would be enough.
