Tool List??
OK I have most of the parts to replace my rear wheel Hub. Does anyone have a list of the tools I will need to do the job? I will get the tools from work tomorrow if I can get the info tonight, and do the job maybe Saturday. I've read a ton of shi* and watched some videos but did not come across a list. Thanx.

Here is a link to docs for a C5 which will be quite similar to the C6.
http://www.jakelatham.com/C5/misc/ select the link for front or rear wheel bearing replacement. This will download a word doc with everything you need.
I followed this basic procedure to do the rear hubs on my C5. Reviewing the manuals I have for a 2010 C6 it is the same procedure.
You will need a 33mm socket to remove the nut for the output shaft on the hub. While the wheels are still on the car loosen this nut, it will take a long breaker bar to loosen it.
This would be a good time to disassemble the parking breaks and clean them up. Remember to adjust them when putting the rotor back on.

Only thing special is a socket big enough to remove the axle nut, I can't remember the size off hand, and torx bit the right size (and strong enough) to remove the bolts that hold the hub on.
Also a set of allen wrenches.. I can't remember but it seems like one of the suspension parts you have to remove/hold still with an allen wrench while loosening a nut.
Other than that.. basic set of wrenches/sockets should do it as far as I can remember

You need the allen wrench for the stud on the ball joint and tie rod end if it doesn't come loose.
