Replaced the drivers side axle and hub yesterday. I was expecting it to be held in with a clip or something, but it wasn't. I have a very early '98, so maybe the design changed? The install went pretty smoothly. Passenger side this evening and then off for an alignment.

Another note. I had a bear of a time removing the rotor. I banged on that thing for a while before finally spraying a bit of PB Blaster in to each of the small holes on the rotor. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and was able to remove it by hand.

No clip on my '97 850 driver's side either. PB Blaster is your friend :-)
