    The new models are serviceable via Pressing. I am not sure of 97-03 as I have never worked/owned that yr of truck.

    its actually not that dumb. like i stated, sometimes the bearings can prematurely wear long before the life of the hub has passed. By allowing serviceable hubs into production, Ford hoped to cut down on repair costs, which they have.

    i think he was stating that the 97-03 where you cant replace just the bearing is dumb
