Trust me, Ive done a search and I couldnt come up with anything as far as difficulty on removing the hubs.

Honestly I just want to replace the wheel bearings but it'd be easier to just buy new or used hubs from a junkyard. Is it really that difficult to remove the old hubs and replace them?

Also what is a knuckle?? Im a total noobie when it comes to suspension.

should only take you about 30 mins to do. and thats saying the axle nuts come off easily

 

in order to replace the hubs without having a press, you need to replace the entire knuckle/hub assembly - not too hard if you have the right tools

not a very good one.

it's easy. I wrote a messages on how to do this. it's even easier if you have a vice, an anvil, and a bunch of large sockets.

 

Thankyou so much for that diagram!!!

Dang, so I guess this means I will need to buy a ball joint removal tool and replace the ball joints with new ones as well?? Man O man, you guys are doing this in 30 minutes? Thats impressive. Any hints or tips anyone??

 

You won't need to replace the ball joints if you use a good ball joint separator (like the one shown in the diagram). A pickle fork will ruin ball joint boots quickly.

except that at the end of the day the tool is squirreled away in your tool box, not bolted to your car.
