Old cv joint already picked some fragments of bearing out of it and can see some bearings in there with damage so worthwhile if not a bit stresful but relatively straight forward once that hub nut is beaten.

I purchased a rattle gun (impact wrench) just for the front hub nuts. I can't be bothered to use it on anything else, tried it on wheel nuts once. To much hassle.
