Anyone ever tried to take a front hub apart? Just curious if it can be done and put back together without destroying anything.

Its a sealed unit

Have to buy the whole hub assembly, I think. Something like $100 a pop.

I know....thats how they sell them, but sometimes you can still take them apart and just buy the bearing.I've done that on Mitsubishis before. Instead of buying a $75 idler pulley, you press out the bearing and replace it for $10. Just wondering if anyone has tried to take one apart. I tried it on a Mercedes recently and it wasn't possible because the axle that went through the center of the bearing was actually also the inner race of the bearing. Its possible this is the same way.
