Chemguy, it seems like someone on here has changed them. I believe you have to knock the ball joints loose, and change the whole deal because the bearings are built in. |

I just replaced mine. Not to bad. I followed directions on another post. You don't have to remove any ballljoints. You do; remove tire, brake unit, rotor. Remove the CV Axle nut and knock the axle inward with a heavy hammer, using a block or something as a cushion so you don't damage the threads. once it is loose you can remove the male torx bolts behind the spidle. (3) You will have to turn the wheel to get at the bolts depending on which one you getting at. Bolt new unit on, push axle in and put bolt back and tighten to pull into place. Make sure splines are lined up first. Took me about 1.5 hour total with floor jack and hand tools. No pullers etc. In my driveway. Was real easy. Look for other link , I could not find it. Little more detailed. good luck. |
