These are a sealed unit and are not meant to be split open so the question is why? If it is making noise or is loose than replace it. As far as water intrusion goes there isnt really much you can do except stop submerging the truck.

X2, if they're making noise, replace them. Otherwise, keep driving. I greased my Dodges and put them back together with no good results. Another 5,000 miles and they starting making noises again. Once they're done, they're done.

I need to replace my front left hub assembly. They are $254 shipped from **Staff Edit to Remove Link** I believe.
