| Post subject: | Front Hub Removal |
I have a bearing that is going bad in the passenger side front hub. I have ordered a replacement hub, but am not sure whether I will need to use a puller to remove the hub. I know that I can get the axle nut wrench from Autozone on a loaner basis. If I will need a puller to remove the hub, could I get that from Autozone as well?

do you have the right size socket for the rear takes a special one for those, I forget the size and too lazy to walk from the garage up to the office to look it up. By the way why am I in the garage on looking at things on LOST? dang

EDIT: Just found this - might help. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54492&p=612239 Thanks, Yellow Coyote. I didn't know about the E-torx socket requirement. The other info is helpful also. I did order the hub with the Timken bearings. I know that they make a quality product and I didn't want to have to change it out again in a few thousand miles. |

Gatta SFA it to get the manual locking hubs,what I did. |
