I copper grease those little T4 bastards,makes for bit easier to undo.Havnt smashed the alloy cover yet,but close.The AVMs hubs are pretty good and easy to service once a yr.I had auto hubs but twice they let me down,in the shingly soft river bed.Glad i have rear diff lock,got me out of a long walk or winching process.
