Does anyone have a write up on how to remove and replace the front wheel hub assembly? I'm hearing a pretty good rubbing or grinding sound coming from the passenger front wheel. I think my bearings may be out, but I think the whole assembly has to be removed. Correct me if I'm wrong please. First thing I'm gonna do is check my tires to make sure that it doesnt have any knots, but I'd like to get my ducks in a row with a nice write up in case I need to replace them. Thanks in advance peeps!!

1-10 to get the brakes/rotors off, then just remove the 4 bolts in a square patter that bolts on the hub to the rest of it. once you do that, just reverse the directions.

This write up explains how to get the rotor and the caliper off. That isnt an issue for me... I'm wondering how to remove what is left over. The spindle with studs on it is my concern. Will i need a bearing press / release tool or will your average tool set be enough? Thanks...

you have to follow steps one threw 10. THEN, to get the actual hub off, there will be FOUR bolts that keep it held on. you must remove the bolts, then pry the hub off. then put the new hub on, then replace the rotors, calipers, and your done. i linked that post above because it shows exactly how to get to the hub, and you can see the 4 bolts in

all you need is sockets to fit the nuts. no press or ne thing. i did it in my garage in like an hour easy.
