Has anyone changed their front wheel bearings? How hard of a job is it?

easy cheesy

should just be removing the brakes, axle nut and three bolts on the back of the knuckle.

Duuuuuuude its super easy.
Take off your tire.
You need an E14 torx bit.
Three bolts and a BFH because after 80k mine was on there.
So I'm sure yours will be on just as bad.
Once you get it off, the new goes back on.
Tighten it down and your good.
Since you don't have ABS, you don't have to worry about the ABS wire.

Enjoy!

Just don't forget the axle nut because if you don't you will have a very long frustrating day. But it is extremely easy the only tools really required are the tire wrench, E14, and a 35mm also don't forget the torque wrench that will handle the 100 ft/lbs required to put the axle nut back on at the right tightness.

Ahhh, yess, the axle nut, that little guy is a bugger.

Brand new and shiny Timken ready to go in.

The elusive E14 bolt.

The old hub.
