You my friend are not lying..my right hand is shaking and full of blisters after 30 minutes of hammering that damn hub out...gotta summon the strength of greyskull for this one kiddies.
Removing the hub from the rear using a long shaft torx bit T55 works well. You might have to grind the O.D. of the socket end of your torx smaller in diameter just a little bit. All you will have to remove is the caliper and rotor. Then remove the hub and replace. Be sure to get the torque on the hub nut correct. I heard it is 204 ft. lbs.
Just did this last night. Got some long torx bits from the jungle site and was able to use a torque wrench and extension with universal adapter to get the bolts out. It still wasn't easy by any means (hard to see them things lying on your back) but I got it done.
You noticed at 12:40 ua-cam.com/video/in-EBQIylmM/v-deo.html that the hub can be removed just opening those 4 pc's of T55Torx screws - and all done before that was unnecessary to do? I have done it and nothing else is needed to open or loose - only to open those 4 Torx bolts after you have removed the wheel and center nut.
Excellent explanation. I have tried but I have not been able to loosen the central nut. Is the direction of rotation normal or is it the opposite? You can't see it in the video and I don't know if it's rusty on my car or I'm doing it wrong. It is clear from the rest of the comments that it is one of the main problems.

Great video - very interesting & helpful
Thank you for nice and instructive video! Great job! No need for battle wounds: use hand gloves.
Gloves are only good when you breaking a nut loose. Thats when you have higher chances of hitting your hands
Not a bad video . Thanks little trick loosen the main with the wheel on ( use a punch to remove the stake ) the nut has a torque around 180 ft/lbs
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
I really hoped the repair will be easier! Cause I need to do mine as well :(
Great video, well done, thank you
