The only problem that I ran into is that a 7mm allen isn't all that common.
I've got 2 drawers full of different sized allen wrenches, some in
triplicate... I had to to go the store after checking every one of the
wrenches for size. I went from 6mm to 8mm skipping over 7mm, as most allen
sets will do. My truck was the same as sam's, but I don't know what year
they went to a sealed hub bearing assy.
