that link really didn't give a lot of info.

I just finished taking the old on off, needed a 35mm for the hub nut and a E14 for the 3 bolts holding on the hub. Other then that it took under 10 mins to remove.

not too hard to change one.. but you will need i believe a 12pt. or 8pt socket(i forget) to get 3 bolts out that go from behind the knuckle out towards the wheels. i had a slight vibration so i changed mine (passenger side) but it didnt help

you have to change the knuckle to change the wheel bering

those bolts are a son of a gun to get out or at least they were on the one I did

Those bolts require a E12 or E14 Torx socket.The knuckle stays,the unit bearing with the hub is what's changed.

Figured tjkj summed it up pretty good.

Glad you got it out without any problems.
