Just changed my rear tire out today at 10,300 miles and I guess the stealership doesn't believe in greasing up the wheel shafts prior to installation. It was a MF to get out do to seizing to the bushing spacers. Luckily I had a BFH and didn't damage the shaft driving it out. Had to polish it up quite a bit and its got grease now. Anyone else run into this?

 

This has been a very common problem. It is strongly recommended to use anti-seize on the axle surface before reassembly.

 

had a hard time gettin mine out at 5000 mile to have flat fixed
