fron hub assembly replacement
Well my RF hub had been rattling and creaking for a month or so after a hard pot hole hit. Just last night as I left autozone the front wheel seized completely. I stopped and called a flat bed. I collected 8 or so little bearings on the ground as he loaded her up. how difficult is it to swap it out with hand tools in your own yard? I figured while its off i'll get some cross drilled rotors and new pads on as well ad finally get my car lowered and out of 4x4 mode.

I've not done the fronts yet but I did do the rears in my '99 some time ago. It only took about 30 minutes each as I remember and the hardest part was separating the ball joint pivot. Standard fork tool worked just fine. Don't forget that you need a strong torx tip driver to take off the 3 torz bolts. I don't know what size at this moment, but Sears has the set of them.
