grinding hub while in "free"
alright, i searched a bit and have come to realize i dont know crap about 4x4. never had a hub off/apart. my right front hub spins completely around (past lock and free), which it has been messed up since i bought it, but now its really bad. it grinds when in the free position. drivers side hub works as advertised. From my searching i see Spindle Bushings repeated everywhere, but everyone's seems to grind in the locked position, not where mine grinds. its a pretty vicious grind.... As this is my daily commuter, and i just moved out from my parents house, this fix has to mean i can drive to work the next day. when i remove the hub do i just take all the bolts off around the hub? prolly being a for not just tearing into it, but i dont wanna get stranded... i have a manual, but it is somewhere in a box probably in my parents storage unit. truck has 193,000, 3.4L, if that helps any. any help appreciated!

Pretty straightforward.
