Well my front passenger hub bearing is starting to make the womp womp noise... not to bad right now only audible at low speed (under 15mph) while turning left. How invasive is the job? I have done plenty in my life some easier then others.. are they a standard bolt on or will i need to use a press? Oh and im enjoying my visit here as well but no offense to any full time lost users but kj country just feels like home to me now, but i do enjoy vacations

In short, not difficult. Lift whole front of vehicle. Remove wheel and brake caliper/ rotor. Three torx bolts at backside of spindle and large nut on CV. No press needed. You'll need to be able to turn steering wheel to gain access to each torx bolt. I just gently tap with a hammer and wood block on CV shaft to loosen it up. Bearing will come right off. Don't forget to clean mating surface. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |

Ill be picking one up begining of next week along with a few cans of pb blaster. Love that stuff! Just got a screw in my tire so it seems like a good excuse to get a nice set of a/ts  theres a few decent used tire places around. On several occasions ive found sets a 4 with 90% tread life left so with any luck i wont be shelling out 150 a tire
