You do need a few tools to service the wheelbearings...if you have never done it before you would want to get a service manual or a knowledgeable buddy to show you how to service them properly..if you doit wrong bad things will happen to the wheelbearings..like turning them to multant lava if they are too tight...speaking from experiance..I learned the hardway..by makeing ALL the mistakes first and then learning from them
That is good to know, I was not wanting to have to tear the front end completely apart. Anything special I need to know before installing the warns?
