Anyone have a procedure for changing the front and rear wheel bearings? Any special tools needed if I do it in my driveway?

35mm deep-well socket to get the axle nut off. After that, I'm not sure.

To remove the front unit bearing assembly you will need a 35mm deepwell socket(axle nut) and a E14 socket for the 3 unit bearing bolts that hold it in the knuckle.The rear wheel bearings will require a slide hammer with the bearing puller attachment.
