  1. I just finished this job. On the face this is a very easy job: 5 Lugnut, 2 caliper bolts, 1 axle nut. But if like me you live in a place with a lot of roadsalt, these bolts can be a b!tch. The axle nut was very easy to take off, make sure you "bend" the little notch that keeps the nut from backing off. So the 4 bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle, on my took about 30mins each. The bolts themselves were in pretty good shape, there was a ton of rust that make them move very very slowly. After I got the bolts out, the old hub was also terrible. The rust really did adhered the hub to the knuckle, to the point that I just started beating the old hub with a hammer. Eventually I just started wedging a screwdriver between the hub and the dust cover. When there was a little space open I doused it in WD40 to help break the "seal" between the hub and knuckle. After the old hub was off the whole thing when back together like a dream. One last note, while beating the old hub, i bent the dust cover a little and on the test drive it rubbed and made some noise, but it was easy to bend back into proper place. Good Luck
