good call on the bearing replacement. wheel bearings are so easy to take for granted. you usually don't think to replace them until they are super noisy.

i found this vid on youtube that was extremely useful for the DIYer that is using the kit that you used.

Pulled the front bearings off... Passenger side looks like it was completely shot, really glad I decided to do this now. SOOOO much easier to do than the rears.

Rented the tool from Vatozone, $32 w/tax; luckily only had to use it on the passenger side. The drivers side came off with my bare hands kinda worried me at first.

Oh yeah and the heat shields....

who makes and where did you get this kit?

read though this whole thread the other week and been following ever since. great documentation!

Thanks man appreciate it :)

It's just a cheap-y kit that HF makes; bought it as a one time use tool which I don't usually don't do with tools but after doing the rears.. Never again. The large bolt I must say is of really poor quality and isn't hardened, wouldn't recommend using an impact.. Even though it appeared at first you could, carnage.

Here's a link though :

Well its come time; Finally got the last of my parts thanks to Blunt. Time to get crackin..

Used a HF to pull the drivers side; Inner race stuck to the hub... So i figured fuck it and used my Snap-On air chisel on the passenger side to see how it'd work out and I'm sure you can see the difference in extraction...
