Least it wasn't a fucking red shell

So my truck (2014 F-150 Fby4) started making this noise last night...

Pulled the RF wheel bearing and it doesn't feel gritty and isn't making noise? No visible damage, either. It does seem to have a lot of drag in the bearing, does anybody know if this is normal for this type of sealed bearing? There's also a good bit of slack in between turning the hub and the axle moving. I've heard that these can have hub actuator problems.

The little 13mm axle retaining bolt was absolutely precious, let me tell you. I was used to fuckoff huge axle nuts on FWD cars...this thing is silly looking.

Back side is a tight fit with just the wire, no jeweler's screwdriver pokey clearance

This looks like a handy thing to have around. I'll give it a crack

I got a huge assortment of depinning tools on aliexpress for like $2.50.

I didn't have a problem with torquing by feel when most torque specs were 85-90 ft/lbs. Now that it's 120 for my truck, I'm older and weaker, and don't tighten two or three hundred lug nuts a week, I use a torque wrench. The HF one that stays in my truck is just as accurate as the Snap-On at home for this purpose.
