wheel bearing/hub assembly replacement ????
well, I found a bad front wheel bearing when I was doing my brakes last week, and I've got the parts on order which should be here by next week, so now I've got to figure out how to do replace it.
I found this for the rear bearings, but nothing on the fronts. It looks like I'll just unplug the ABS wires, unbolt the lower ball joint and unscrew the old wheel bearings (#55 torq screws), then put everything back together.
Is there anything I need to worry about when I do that or something I'm missing?
Please tell me this is easy to do. I've got enough of my blood in my car to consider it part of the family already.
thanks guys

Maybe you should replace the wheel studs while you have it apart:

Something else has to be done.
You will need to remove the lower ball joint from the spindle. It isn't hard you just have to backoff the nut for the lower ball joint and put a prybar between the spindle and pop it loose then remove the nut and pop the ball joint out of the spindle. I don't remember if i had to undo one end of the shock or not.... but yeah it's a piece of cake.
the wheel studs should come with the hub.
