Service at Nolan's of Fairbanks, after my attempt to get the driver's rear wheel hub removed resulted in damage. Work includes: 1) replacing driver's rear CV axle 2) replacing driver's rear ABS sensor ring 3) replacing driver's rear lug nuts 4) replacing/rebuilding driver's rear parking brakes 5) replacing driver's rear wheel hub 6) remove valve cover to investigate the knocking/clattering noise, the rods do not appear to be loose so it is not easily fixed. 7) tested engine compression (it is fine). Ongoing question/concern - there is very high oil blowby pressure, and Nolan thinks it might be caused by the piston rings being worn out based on the compression testing and taking the valve cover off. If this is actually caused by the piston rings being worn, it would require a full engine rebuild to correct. Nolan's suggestion is to keep an eye on the oil (level and for any metal particulate matter) and run it until it finally fails.
