How to flush the hubs(First, I never said any of this, and take no responsibility for any accidents that happen when this is done...):
I found, over the years, that it takes three or four flushes to do this. This can be dangerous! You must be very careful not to launch the Hummer off the Jack Stand. Once you have done this one or two times, you will get used to doing it. It is not difficult to do. BTW, while doing this (and changing my halfshafts) I realized that greasing the drive line was much easier if you jacked up one wheel and with a large screwdriver turned the drive line (I turn a brake rotor) to line the grease fittings to the correct location. BTWx2, I painted the drive shafts yellow at each grease point! That way while turning things I know exactly where the zerk fitting is! These two tips cut chassis greasing time greatly: those pesky drive shafts were always a PITA to grease due to the fact that the zerk fittings need to be aligned just right to get the grease gun on.
